That' s what I was sort of figuring on the heavier 100+ pills. My thought with this gun would be to have a compact calling/truck gun. Mostly designed for coyote stands and coyotes at longer distance. An occasional deer or goat might be thrown in aswell. I would like to see a rather heavier...

What is everyone's opinion on this round? Shooting 105 VLDS or 95 VLDS. Maybe through in 70 or 80 grain Nosler BTips. For anyone who has built one: Do you see an advantage to 26" tube or could you run a 22" barrel without much change in velocity? What have you seen with feeding problem's...

Yes, I own a .257 Weatherby and pretty much is my go to gun for everything. Was just thinking about playing with a 6.5 caliber. Something that has better BC than a quater bore. Do some shooting way out there. As far as the 240 goes. I have always thought that it is a neat caliber and you...

I have been considering a build off of the a Savage/Stevens platform for a while and still have some concerns about caliber. Lets say elk is on the menu but max yardage of 500yds. Mostly would be used for long range deer and speedgoats. How much difference will there be from the 260 to the...

Thanks for all the replies. Many suggestions to take in. It seems as if I should lean towards the stock gun. Grit in the next few days I will get ahold of you to discuss some options. Thanks for offering your insight.

I have been lurking around here for a bit now trying to soak in as much info as possible and have few questions. I know a few people have been very kind in answering questions and I have a few more. I'm really interested in building or buying a 6.5x284 and I am trying to figue out which way to...

Thanks for the reply on barrel diameter and velocity. Has anyone had experience with the 110 Predator in 6.5x284. Does the velocity rival the above post since the truley are both shooting a 24 inch barrel?

I was wondering if anyone had experience with these two models in 6.5x284? I am wondering if the 26" barrel in the 111 will have a true impact on velocity or is the break an add on to a 24" barrel? Basically will it perform better over the 110 predator? Also I would like to know what...

I don't own the rifle. Have a guy that i can get one bought brand new for around $600 to $700. I like the ballistics of this caliber and figured this was a decent buy that I could just swap the stocks and go.

Perfect. I like the Stockade stocks. I think I'm settling in on 111 Long Range Hunter and putting it in the tactical stock. Two questions: Do they cut the stock to fit the exact model? Making sure the barrel channel isn't to small over extremely to big. If you have them paint the stock...

So, it was no problem replacing a stock in model 110. Was it an Accustock?

Has anyone replaced a stock on either of these two guns? Savage 110 Preadtor in 6.5x284 Savage 111 LRH in 6.5x284 I was looking into buying on of these to rifles stock and then replacing the stock with something like a Mcmillan A3 of A# sporter. Please let me know what possiblities there...

Has anyone put a replacement stock on 110 preadtor or 111 long range hunter? I was thinking of McMillan A3 or A3 sporter stock?

I have been considering in getting into the 6.5 game. I have been looking at the idea of getting the Savage 110 Preadtor in 6.5x284. Does anyone have any experinece with this model? What are your pros and cons about the gun? 24in barrel or should ya get a 26in? I have been around a few...
