[QUOTE="Guest, post: 54953"] The Savage short actions are a little longer than the Rem short actions this is why they can get away with chambering them for the WSM rounds. Although the 284 case is a slight bit longer I don't believe that you will notice. You can have the 308 rechambered for the Larger 300WSM for alot less than you can have it rebarreled for if doping the wind is your problem but I woulden't recomend shooting coyotes if your wanting to keep the pelts. BUT I kow a few guys out west that have gone from shooting a 6.5-284 to shooting an Ackly improved 260Rem for long range dirt poodles. They say that the slight velocity increase doesen't out weight the longer barrel life and easier reloads of the 260Ai [/QUOTE]
