[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1270579, member: 23070"] I may have typed it wrong but what I was meaning is there is a gently used one for sale so debating on a different caliber isn't really an option. The gunsmiths have record of being built (October 2016) and the current owner said it has 248rds down tube currently. I have a factory 7mm mag but it's a light weight hunting rifle. I figured this rifle is a great platform to built a rifle off of when this barrel is burnt out as he is asking a very reasonable price. And it leaves lots of options open as it is a long action. I thought the 284. Win had some serious love in the long range world. I had read previously about the 180's out of a 284 going 2800-2900 fps which seemed amazing for a short action cartridge pushing the heavies with very little powder at moderate speeds. [/QUOTE]
