[QUOTE="JeepGeneral, post: 1255660, member: 99037"] I'm building my first semi-custom rifle and have settled on 6.5x284 as my caliber of choice. With the lack of factory options (aside from Savage) I have started to look at other calibers to re-barrel or ream to 6.5x284. My rifle of choice is a Sako 85 in 6.5x55. Is the conversion as simple as having a gunsmith ream the factory barrel to 6.5x284 specs? A local smith quoted me $150 to ream the new, factory barrel but another smith said he will only ream new barrel blanks. What are my options? [/QUOTE]
