[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 2037938, member: 112792"] I have the 6.5 X 284 and 264 Mag. both work well for hunting both pronghorn, deer and elk. I have just completed my 6.5 X 55 Swede A.I. as a lite backpacking mountain carry rifle both of the others are heavy and will wear your shoulder out carry them all day. With a 22" tube and a pencil profile with scope, I am at just a little over 8 LBS. throwing 140 partitions at 2650 f.p.s. is showing great promise with just under 1 MOA at 100 yards. This should improve some as I get a few more loads worked up. While I have built others, this is my favorite so far and I want to add a 260 Remington to the stable and may pickup a factory rifle as they are not hard to find. I think any of the one's you have listed will serve you well, but 260 Remington maybe the best to find loaded ammo or components for. [/QUOTE]
