WTB 6.5-284 or 280ackly

[poleok]

I haven't been here long but isn't this supposed to be a site that gives info to everyone?? If all you do is send private messages to each other, how are WE supposed to get any in case WE want to either build one or have one built?? As a matter of fact I have thought about the same delima for a while and that's why I clicked on this post, I thought there might be just the right info to make up my mind. I guess that's what I get for thinking.. So how about someone who has had and used both give us their insite into which one is either best or at least how good or bad each is.
I'm sorry if I ruffeled any feathers and if my input isn't on point but that's just me.

Thanks and I DO like the site and most of the time I do get my questions answered so keep up the great work.

Poleok--
This is a CLASSIFIED section for the sale of guns...hence the WTB (wanted to buy) prefix of the post. What Big Al is asking the forum population is if there is anyone with a 280 Ackley or 6.5x284 for sale that he can get for his wife. Therein lies the amount of PMs sent to Big Al, telling him what people have to offer.

My suggestion is that if you are looking for advice on what to build or buy, post it in the Gunsmithing, Rifles Barrels and Ballistics, or Long Range Hunting section of this site.
