[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 640008, member: 23486"] In a long action, 6.5-284, 6.5-06 (maybe the AI?) or the 284 Win. These will all keep you in the '06 bolt face & provide great performance without beating the crap out of your girl (throw a brake on there too). I would keep the bullet diameter 7mm or lower to mitigate recoil. It was stated above that 6.5s are for goats & deer, fair statement... however, a well placed 6.5 will do much better than a poorly placed larger bullet any day of the week. It's about recoil tolerance, not bragging rights, choose a caliber she is [U]comfortable[/U] with, if she is scared of it you will both be wasting your time. The 284 win would be great in your 110, larger boolets for more "pop", short enough to seat long bullets & not erode powder capacity & will offer better BBL life than the 6.5-284.... If you decide otherwise, the bolt head on your Savage can be EASILY changed. Keep us in the loop, would like to see the build. [/QUOTE]
