[QUOTE="huntem, post: 75137, member: 3741"] I have recently returned from a successful bear hunt and while I was making the 18 hour drive home I was thinking of my next hunt. I have had a really bad itch to shoot an antelope. With that said, I am looking for a weak excuse to acquire another rifle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (Like my .270, 7mm WSM, or .300 Ultra wouldn't do the job) I have 2 Rem 700 rifles that I could use as donor rifles for the action but they really aren't the best choice. The LA is a Rem Titanium chambered in .270 win and the other SA is a Rem 700 Light Varmint chambered in .22-250. Both have blind magazines. Maybe I made a terrible assumption that I could use the SA .22-250 action and rebarrel for the 6.5-284. The case diameter is the same @.473". Now the OAL is a big difference at 1.912" .22-250 versus 2.170" 6.5-284. While I am an avid shooter and hunter of your standard caliber, this rebarreling and such is fairly new to me. [/QUOTE]
