well the time has come for a new gun
and it all started at the fly nationals  just hated seeing all those custom guns around and me with my hybrid target/hunting gun haha and watching Chris on the bench with me shooting his 6BR and Dasher and Dean with his dasher next to me
the old weatherby vanguard does the job but I think I can do better with a custom one with tracking and set up and I'm sick of changing parts on the stock between hunting and target , the barrel changing doesn't faze me as it only takes a few seconds

so after lots of thought I have decided to build a 6BRX as I will mainly use it for fly but will also do the odd F class open where the extra speed will help
Dave Kerr will be building it for me and this is what I have ordered
Kelbly Stolle Panda F action in dual port
McMillan F class stock
 Krieger 1:7.5 twist barrel  looking at 30inch atm
Jewel trigger

 I did think hard about it and choices were 6BRX, dasher and 6.5x47, 7-08 but I wanted to stay with the 6mm as they are a accurate calibre and love my 6BR
from what I read there isn't much between the dasher and 6BRX in the way of performance and the dasher has slightly more neck
so i ended up going 6BRX as I can use all my 6BR dies and I will use my 243 die to size down to the case head  were the 6BR body die wont reach, will order a custom dies one day
 i went with 1:7.5 twist barrel to just make sure 105gr hybrids will be stabilized out to 1000y

so deposit is paid and now i play the waiting game for action, stock and barrel and build
and hope to be using it at the national next year but time will tell

so any tips you 6BRX and dasher guys can tell me i need to do :)
