[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 580244, member: 4867"] I have both and like them both. But, I'm selling the 6.5-284. Sure, it will push the 140gr a little faster. But I also own a 7RM and an Edge. I use the .260 mostly for coyotes but just shot a whitetail with it and it worked great. If I need to shoot something over 400-500 yds I'll grab my 7RM. If it's over 800 I'll grab my Edge. I know either one will work fine and you won't notice much difference between the two. My .260 is built on a short action so I decided that I would shoot the 123gr AMax. My 6.5-284 is built on a long action and I shoot the 140gr Bergers. If I were only going to own one rifle, I'd probably go with the 6.5-284 but because I have the 7RM also, I feel the .260 fits in better. Not much help I know, but figured I'd throw my experience out there anyhow. [/QUOTE]
