Hello all,
I am looking for a Remington model 700 in 6mm. It needs to be stainless with a synthetic stock. I know these are hard to find, just hoping maybe somebody has one in the back of their safe that they might sell. I am only looking for a Remington model 700.

Thanks and take care, Mike

There are a bunch of model 7s on Gunbroker right now in 6mm. All I have ever had is model 700s. What is the difference between the 7 and 700?

The only difference is the model 7 has a lighter contour barrel, which makes for a slightly lighter/handier package. They are quite nice, actually.

A 20" barrel is perfect for burning all of the powder in a small cartridge. Another 2" will not make any difference, really in a 6mm. I handload for a 243 and get great performance from a 20" bbl. and see little need for 22" or longer. The Model 7 is quite popular, for a reason.

Thanks for the information guys, I appreciate it. I think I will look a little longer for a 700 but if I can't find one I will try a model 7. Thanks again and take care, Mike.

You could also build you one if you have an extra 700 short action your not using, then you could have exactly the way you want it. A lot of excellent barrel manufactures out there.
