[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 7092, member: 1193"] I'm in the process of choosing a 6.5 caliber rifle. This isn't going to be competition gun just an "accurate as I can get it" hunting rifle. I'd like to just buy a factory rifle and rebarrel it in one of these two choices, but I've read that the 6.5-284 requires a long action if you want to use the magazine and may require magazine & feed rail work. Would the same be true of the 6.5-308 if I bought a rifle already chambered for 308 then rebarreled it? Also any information on recoil and velocity differences or any other pertinent facts would be appreciated. Thanks Chris [/QUOTE]
