[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 66131, member: 10"] Joe Boyd, Certainly if you have a Rem 700 Long Action, the 6.5mm-06 AI will give you a much easier platform to work with compared to the 6.5-284 even though it is also not abig deal to fit into the rifle. I am a big game hunter and as such I like the increased performance of the 6.5-06 AI compared to the 284 version. Also, if you get quality brass and it is certainly available, the 6.5-06 AI can be an extremely accurate long range round. I would go with Redding dies. Contact them, they may even have them in stock ready to ship. The McMillan would be my top choice for an aftermarket stock but there are no flies on the H-S stocks either as long as they are set up correctly. Accuracy potential and consistancy potential would lean toward the 6.5-284 at least on paper, in the real world under field conditions, if the rifle is fitted precisely, I would say you would be hard pressed to prove one is better then the other in accuracy or consistancy. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
