[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1135951, member: 39651"] Therein lies the $500 question. What do you plan to do with it? Are you already set up to reload? If you do not currently reload, I'd say stick with the .270, especially if you travel anywhere to hunt. Whereas .270 shells can be found about anywhere, I'd guess you won't find 6.5 shells anywhere. A .270 is an awesome all around rifle, so if you're simply wanting something different- go buy a 6.5x284 and keep the .270 as a backup. For what you'll have into rebarreling your .270, you can nearly pay for a decent used rifle and then you'll have TWO rifles to drain your wallet! If you're wanting to shoot longer ranges, spend some money on a really good scope and use the .270. Just my two cents worth. [/QUOTE]
