I have a Remington 783 in .22-250 that doesn't get used much anymore. I basically got it for free from a pile of unused Cabela's gift cards.
Since it already has the .473" bolt head I'm thinking about rebarrelling it to either 6mm BR Norma or 6mm Dasher. I don't handload, but Copper Creek Ammunition offers both cartridges.
I've also been told that for the cost of a rebarrel on a $300 Rem 783 I should just trade it to a Ruger American 6mm Creedmoor.
This set up would be used for hunting PA deer/coyote and the occasional hog. Shooting distance is 95% inside of 100 yards and 99% inside 150.
I'm already working on a Howa miniaction 6.5 Grendel project as well.
