[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 857149, member: 32195"] I rebarreled my old tang safety 25-06 a while back. I bought the rifle new and after all these years the accuracy went away. I wanted a little more powder than the 25-06. Not that the 25 ever let me down, but I just wanted a better bullet slection. Where I hunt now, I have up to 700 yards shots. I thought about going with the 6.5-284 but I had been picking up 270 and 30-06 brass for years and had a 5 gal. bucket of once fired brass. So I thought about the 6.5-06 or 280 Ackley and then after spending alot of time studying everything I just went with the 280 Ack. I just use my 270 brass but also use Nosler 280 ack brass. after fire forming. If you get it chambered for 280 ack just make sure your smith uses the new reamers for the Nosler 280 Ack. and you want have a problem. I had a problem coming up with a stock for the Ruger, just not many choices. I went with a Boyd Limanated stock. I installed a Picantinny mount so I would have more options on rings. It turned out good and what ever cartridge you deside to go with I am sure yours will too.[URL="http://s74.photobucket.com/user/tnwhip/media/280%20Ackley/280ack3.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/tnwhip/280%20Ackley/280ack3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
