    6.5 -06 standard or improved or 280 ai comes as a logical choice.
    The question is what do you want to achieve with it?
    Good luck with it. Post some pics

    Ps: starting with a weatherby action is definitely not very European .
    Friwi,

    I understand the Weatherby USA link, but I'm a sucker for the 9 lug action. I've shot F Class for the last couple of years and could build a target rifle or a long range plinker. Maybe a 6.5x284 Win to push the 140gr a little faster.

    Does anyone have a good range / hunting rig set up they recommend?
