[QUOTE="trebark, post: 979701, member: 19172"] Another post here is probably correct that you could not rechamber the barrel from 6.5x284 to 260 because the 284 is a larger case. This means you will likely have to rebarrel the rifle. In the immortal words of JE Custom on this forum "the only advantage a light rifle has is weight. All other advantages go to the heavy rifle." This means that you could go with a mag contour barrel but will likely see better performance from a heavier barrel. The question to ask yourself is whether or not you will be carrying the rifle much. If so, a lighter contour as nice as it's less weight on your back. If you're going to carry the rifle in your truck, get out and shoot, then a heavy barrel is not a problem. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
