[QUOTE="David_L6, post: 1622905, member: 107645"] 6.5 SAUM in a medium length action (like Stiller makes). I've seen how that caliber can shoot. My son built one using a Remington Model 7 action. Tack driver and he's still working on loads. The Model 7 isn't really a good choice for this cartridge as it limits you to 2.8" OAL max. If not the 6.5 SAUM, consider the 6.5-284. That one really needs a medium or long action. I have a 284 Winchester in a Remington Model 700 short action. Limited by OAL in this rifle too. Personally, I'm a 7mm guy. I have most of them. 7mm-08, 284 Winchester, 7mm SAUM, 280 Remington, 7mm Rem. Mag. [/QUOTE]
