[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 630582, member: 15229"] Savage choice, I haven't looked but do they have a 6.5x284? I bought a new 2007 model 116 BGH in 30-06 without the barrel. There is a dealer that sells them that way, fairly cheap too, I could look it up if you were interested. Savages are easy to rebarrel, then just buy a good 6.5 barrel and have it reamed for 6.5x284. The model I bought didn't have the accustock but did have the accutrigger. I liked the model buy didn't like the accutrigger as it didn't work for me in hunting mode, I couldn't trust it as the trigger locks when you slamm the bolt hard. It's a safety feature but a disaster for a quick follow up shot as you then have to toggle the bolt up and down to re-set the trigger. So I bought an SSS trigger which is a normal trigger, but you have to buy a savage model that doesn't have the accustock or trigger options are basically just the accutrigger. I also replaced the cheap floorplate with savages DBM which is quality is my opinion. Savage sells them direct, in fact I have a second one that they shipped me twice. The first time I shipped it back to them at my cost. The second time I kept it. I may sell it for less than savage sells it sometime as I don't need 2. Food for thought. I think the 6.5x284 is the champ of 6.5 class. [/QUOTE]
