I know everyone is probably getting tired of 6 mm discussions but I thought I would pick some more knowledgeable brains before I move ahead on a new project. What I am wanting is a 6x284 pick up gun. I already have one 6x284 and it is a great rifle and I enjoy it even with some of it's short comings but I can't bring myself to haul around in my pick up a rifle that cost almost 5K to build. Since my day job is ranching I get to do a lot of drving and I would like a rifle that isn't a *** but something that won't break my heart when the dog knocks it over. The rifle would have to be long action with a reasonably fast twist but I don't want a 12 lb rifle either. My bullet inventory in 6 mm goes from 87 gr to 115 gr so I could even live with a 10 twist and try 95 gr BT's. The first thing that comes to mind is rebarreling a Savage. Does anybody have a better idea or done something like this? I am not on a budget so that's not the major factor here. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
