[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2482541, member: 307"] I'm with 2Old2Care on this. Being a 6.5-284 Norma owner for a number of years, as soon as I saw the SAAMI chamber drawings I knew it would be a top 6.5 performer on game and LR targets. It's the same case as the Norma round just a half inch longer. More boiler room area for the 153/156gn bullets and if one was to decide to go 7-7.5 twist the heavier mono's would be unstoppable. I personally do not like the looks/feel of the Weatherby's but that's me. Nothing against anyone who likes/shoots them. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, they're just as good as any other rifle IMO. In the past I would have gone for a varmint profile barrel but as I get older (read as; arthritis) I don't seem to prefer handling the 12-14lb rifles as much. Now I'm thinking a heavy sporter, 26-28", no slower than 1-8t would be just the ticket for a rifle/scope of about 10lbs with this cartridge. Just an idea for me right now at least till components become more readily available. [/QUOTE]
