[QUOTE="Mulga, post: 33669, member: 2526"] Hi Guys. I have been reading the threads on the 6.5/284 and there is alot of great info there. However Action length seems to be a sticking point with this cartridge. What would be the ideal factory reciever be to take advantage of the compactness of the cartridge and the use of long 140g projectiles. Particularly as I prefer a repeating action. I want to be able to use 95g Vmaxes for varmiting and 140g SMK's for target work. What is the maximum OAL for the 6.5/284 Norma? If I had to deaply seat the 140g SMK's to enable the use of a SA repeater what kind of tradeoff in preformance would that have? If I cant use a Short action reciever why use the 6.5/284? The 6.5/06 would be cheaper to run with similar performance! I am currently concidering actions: Rem 700 Sako M591 Sako L691 Sako Other Weatherby Mk V Is there a barrel twist which will work well with a large variation in projectile weight 95-140g? Would rebarreling a Weatherby MkV SVM to 6.5/284 work? I think the action may be long enough, what about the magazine spacer? How easy is it to acurise a Weatherby MkV action? Thanks in advance guys Mulga [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
