[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 23906, member: 12"] Concur with your gunsmith about the long action if you plan on it being a repeater vs single shot. 140s are too long to fit in action of any repeater short action. As for Rem vs Sako, take your pick. I would recommend at least a 26" barrel to take advantage of the case capacity. 24" is really limiting your potential with the 6.5-284. If you went to a 6.5-06 Ack Imp and long barrels, you might add 100 fps over the 6.5-284 but that is all. Brass quality on the 6.5-284 has really picked up and you have 3-4 good mftrs now and I think Lapua is one of them. They would be my first choice if available. Their brass has lowest variances of any brass out there as far as I have seen. Good luck BH [/QUOTE]
