Barnard S

[mattk83]

Does anyone have any experience with using the repeating barnard s action. I will be looking to set up a a new hunting rifle in the up comming months and would like to consider this action. My main concern is what stock mods will i have to make the action fit and what dbm system works best. Also what does the s action cost and is it as good as others like the bat and surgen. Additionaly my choice in cal is 6.5x47 and would like to know if any one out there has load data for using the 85 g serria hp and 2208.

I run my 6.5x47 with 85 gn sierra and use 40gn of 2208 behind it.No idea how fast but works well. Tried 95gn V max and very poor groups.
