[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2330985, member: 51405"] 6.5-284. I know that is my next cartridge… I have a 280 Ackley from MOA Rifles that shoots well but that I’m not crazy about…since buying it I have figured out that I like a slightly different stock style and like it a little heavier…so Dallas Lane is building me a new one and I should have it soon. So my dilemma is whether to rebarrel that to a 6.5-284 or get a build exactly how I want it. I think with a heavier barrel, new cerakote job, lighter shooting cartridge, and it will be just fine. Plus that option costs 1/5th of a new custom, so that is likely the path I’ll take. If so, it is a McMillan Hunter stock with Edge, MOA action, Jewell, and likely a benchmark barrel, although maybe a Bartlein, with a brake in maybe 25” and fluted. Would like to do a Bartlein #3 or benchmark equivalent, and it will have an ATACR 4-16 on top, unless they announce a 4-20 SFP at SHOT. I may go for this cerakote on the stock, and either an olive or FDE barrel. I may pull the trigger here in the next week.
