Well Steve, that little 6mm was one of my pops pride and joy's. That gun never went out in the rain although he did take his share of deer with it. A while back I had it floated and bedded and really woke it up, it is a very nice little cartridge. And yea I'm waiting to see what kind of nice blued/walnut huntin rifles got traded for AR's that people had to have, there's gonna be a bunch to pick from. 35Whelen 700 BDL
