[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 527298, member: 505"] ER Shaw barrels are hit and miss. I have used them for years and have some top shooters and some tomato stakes. More bad ones than other barrel makers. I would spend the gunsmith money truing your action and getting your action perfect and square. Pac-Nor does excellent work threading barrels to screw in recievers. They have excellent barrels and can send you one that you can screw in yourself saving money. Go with the 6.5-284 or 6.5-06 AI. the '06 AI is faster and nearly the equal of the 264 win mag while still being easy to shoot and load for. I like it better than the 284 case for the extra velocity but either is fine. Do not go below these two in performance if you want to shoot big game to 1000 yards. As far as scopes I have a couple 4-16 Nikon Monarchs with mil dot reticles for $359 shipped to you. These are new in the box. They are a much better scope than the one you mentioned. Or there are several other better ones in that price range. [/QUOTE]
