[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 800984, member: 35183"] Consider this rifle: [url=http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001112&dir=700|1484|1485]Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC[/url] Its a model 110 in 6.5x284 with a 24" fluted barrel. $738 shipped to your FFL and they are in stock. I personally want a stainless action and a 26"+ barrel but that adds a lot to the up front cost. The 110 is the long action version of the model 10 and I have the impression it has not been cheapened up the way Savage has done with the model 11 and some of the others. I currently have a model 10, a model 12 and a second 12 on the way in 308. The 6.5x284 is a very effective long range round and good for all the game you intend to hunt for. There are very good bullets for it too, but ideally you would reload. You can get factory ammo but it is not inexpensive. 130 or 140gr Berger hunting bullets with the right load will have you smiling... Recoil is modest. The barrel will not last forever, so its not a gun for "blasting". [/QUOTE]
