[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 24945, member: 547"] Fatboy, I can vouch for John Holliger's ability with the 284, he's excellent with an AR also (current U.S. civilain service rifle champion if memory serves). That would be an option. Let me throw another option at you from a different Illinoisan. From what you stated about your criteria, a decent 1K gun with low recoil & reasonable barrel wear is in order. It seems a pal of mine shoots a particular caliber that is common, easy to load for, and EXTREMELY low recoil. It won't keep up with a 6.5-284, but shoots well inside a .308 at 1K. He's also won the Canadian National Full Bore Championships with it twice I believe. The rifle has a 1:8" twist shooting 80gr Sierra MKs, the caliber is....... 22-250! The name is Bill Wylde, I believe you've probably heard of him! I know it ain't perfect, but give it a thought.... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
