[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 361289, member: 18756"] The reason I suggested a Long Action for the 6.5-284 is to seat the long bullets out far enough so that you don't waste case capacity with the bullet inside the case. I had a 6.5-284 in a short action and I could load it but couldn't unload a live round, had to pull the bolt out to get it out - it is now a 6.5X47 Lapua! If I were you I would built it on the Savage long action, you already have the correct bolt diameter, plus you have enough room to load the 140 gr. bullets that will make the 6.5X284 a true long range gun, but Barnes doesn't make a 140, so 120 might be all you get. You might want to load a 140 gr. Berger VLD, those things rock! Just my $.02 -Erik [/QUOTE]
