What twist barrel is it? Sometimes it’s just easier to rebarrel with the contour, twist, and caliber you want. I need to look up the dimensions of the 240 page to refresh my memory, but if you have the threads cut off and the barrel rechambered, you should be able to make it whatever you want.
Sounds like a very cool old rifle. Have any pictures?

Just today I ran a (twist-test) twice... looks like a 1-10. I will have to shoot some images of it and send them to you. I have several 6MM rifles... a Rem 700 VLS chambered in .243, a very good shooter for dispatching ground squirrels at long distances and a Seko Vixin Sporter in 6mm PPC for the same purpose. Maybe its foolish to build up another 6mm except that I would like a fast long-haul 6mm for very long distance varmint shooting in the 500-700 yard range... that would exceed the .243 or the 6mm PPC. The Spitzer 6mm-06 is quite a Hot-Rod, maybe I should look closer at that cartridge.
I could be moving into an area of diminishing returns but, its worth the effort to investigate the possibilities.
Thanks for your reply,
