[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 2699496, member: 12387"] Mine is a Remington 700 BDL carbine mfg in 1962 - first year for the 700. It has a 20" barrel; I don't know if they made any in '64 or not - 1963 may have been the last year for the carbine. Seems strange to hear the 6mm refered to as an obsolete cartridge - 40 years ago it was really popular with gun nuts. Had a longer neck and a little more powder capacity which appealed to reloaders. The 6mm was originally the 244 Remington chambered in the Remington 722 with a slower twist than the .243- Remington envisioned it as strictly a varmint caliber for 80 grain bullets and it wouldn't stabilize the 100 grain bullet like the .243 did. Remington gave their rifle a faster twist and renamed the cartridge the 6mm Remington. My old rifle has a 3X-9X Leupold Vari-X III and is my standby for deer and coyotes. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
