New 6mm GT

[betelgeuse]

I was looking at the Bergara in 6 GT. It looks nice. Comes in MPA chassis

MPA would be my vote if not doing a full custom build.

Bingo. Love my GT on a Tikka action

6GT has been really easy to load for. Tikka/krieger/mdt shoots 109 bergers way under half MOA consistently. As currently equipped it’s about 22# 109 lrht 2940 fps

I think full customs have their place (especially for production class competition) but it’s pretty easy to assemble one yourself once you gather the components. Shopping around and checking the classifieds for the parts would save you some serious money.

What tripod is that? I’m in the market and that looks pretty close to what I’m wanting to get

Couple of guys have mentioned semi custom, thats the route I would go. And since its rokslide and everyone has a spare tikka laying around, I think you can pick up an acc elite from mdt for 40% off right now for a tikka. If you wanna go with a rem 700 clone I would shop around and find deals, There are plenty out there. I shoot a 6.5 creed and 6bra, but I know a lot of guys shooting the gt and love it.

I have a couple of mid 1990s to early 2000s Remington 700s laying around. Would that even be a platform worth considering? Could I still shoot in the production class in the PRS, or should I just build it and shoot in an “open” class?

Two vets, no name. First version I’m not sure what the v2 upgrades where and I have zero complaints with this one

Production class in the PRS is for sponsors, not new shooters. Id just shoot whatever class you fall in. It really dosnt matter for someone just starting.

You can build one of your rem 700s. But if your going to shoot a fair amount your probably better off with going to an action that is more reliable without a bunch of work and can take prefits.

I’m still shooting the same tikka action I started with 8000 rounds ago.

Is everyone going with a 7.5 twist or is 8 plenty? Reason I ask is I'm having some put together soon for family members and probably myself while Im at it and Lilja has 1-8 in stock. These will also likely all be 18" barrels so my velocity will be a little slower than those with 26" barrels obviously. I don't mind for a second to place an order if 7.5 is preferred though especially with some of the new bullets coming out. I would feel pretty silly not having enough twist for some bullets when I have full control over what to order. 8 was/is just tempting setting there ready to go is all. Thanks

I think 1:8 is fine and at 18”, it might not be as slow as you think. I’m getting 2800fps with a 20” and 108gr ELDMs with a relatively mild load of Varget. I’m going shorter when I rebarrel.

Thank you

I’ve got a spare Model Seven that I may turn into a 6 gt.
