[QUOTE="Lane Puckett, post: 247956, member: 12923"] Can folks school me on 6.5-284 and choice of actions? I have a desire to built up a gun in that caliber. It will be a mid weight walking deer rifle. I'll go the 28-30 inch barrel just in a smaller diameter contour than the varmint/target one. Not interested in going the Savage route, they are fine and shoot good, I have two in different calibers. I like my Remingtons. So my plan was to sell a youth Ruger M77 270 I have no need for and take those funds to pick up a Remmy action. Then go from there. Time is not a factor. Turns out I probably won't get more than about $250 out of the Ruger. It isn't in bad shape just the market for a used youth Ruger 270 is in the $300 range. So tell me.......is it a real bad idea to just rebarrel the Ruger and get a trigger into it, toss a slip on pad spacer or new stock and see how it shoots???? Bad idea.......or fun project just zero resale compared to a Remington Action if I get bored in a few years with it. Thanks, Lane [/QUOTE]
