[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1434381, member: 103369"] I am about to build a medium weight 6.5 hunting rifle on a remington action with a krieger barrel. I had in mind a 6.5-06 AI, but when I sat down with the gunsmith, he convinced me to go with a 6.5x284. This guy is very well known and has a great reputation, so I let him talk me into it even though I will be giving up about 200 fps of velocity. I'm just curious about other shooter's opinions if I made the right choice or not, or if there is something even better that we overlooked. The selling point for me was that he claimed accuracy in the 6.5x284 will be perceptibly better, and the velocity difference will not be a huge factor at the 600 yards which is the limit of my field of view from my hunting spot.
