[QUOTE="Idahotrophyhunter, post: 528516, member: 19518"] Well I got the Stevens today (bought a .243) going to try to sell the barrel and stock to offset costs. Got out later then expected so I wasn't able to do my parts ordering, going to try to get it done tomorrow. Thought I would share that I already have a tweak. I was set on the .260, but after really checking ballistics with the 140 VLD and wanting a legit 800+ yard cartridge, I just feel I was pushing it to much. Tomorrow I will order the Shilen drop in barrel in 6.5X284, especially after watching some videos of former best of the west guys dropping deer, sheep, and elk with the cartridge at distances pushing a 1000 yards. One question, Midwayusa has bushnell elite 3200 scopes in 7-21x40 mildot reticle for 299.99, would that be a better optic for this application then the 10x SS? [/QUOTE]
