[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 229397, member: 10429"] Question 1. I am thinking over the next year about having a 6.5X284 or a 6.5X06 built. Would the Savage Arms Action, Savage Sporter Long Action Magnum Bolt Face with Magazine Box Steel Blue (copied stright from Midway usa) work for this? Question 2. I already have a mauser 98 action and thought about using this action for the 6.5x06 but on another form I had read that the longer high BC 140grain bulletts has some issues with the magizine. They were saying the magizine is to short. Would anyone know if the savage action is any longer? Question 3. I lean to the 6.5X06 a little more due to the fact that the O6 casing seems to be alot more easier to come by. I been reading alot and it apears that both of theses wildcats are very equal. Any thoughts? I will mainly use the gun for hunting and try to do some mid-long range shots. Looking about the 600 to 700yds range. Deer/antelope... [/QUOTE]
