I'm having an old Turkish mauser action reborn as a 6.5-06.
1.1-8" twist, 24" +muzzlebrake, fluted, Douglas #5 XX, airguaged, Premium barrel.
2.Action squared and trued, lugs lapped.
3.Bolt handle reforged.
4.Drilled and tapped for Leupold "onepiece" base.
5.Black parkerized...

Im gonna use this rifle for long range predator, deer and antelope and target shooting for around 500 to 700 yards....
As soon as it returns I will try to download pictures.
