[QUOTE="ShotShaper, post: 356183, member: 22772"] Thank you for a thorough well researched and timely reply. I am a handloader of many years. I have considered the Savage Model 111 LR Hunter in 6.5-284 but in a perfect world it would posess a 28 inch barrel, and I fear the adjustable comb knobs will forever get in the way. I suppose the latter is fixable. My other option was the Model 11 LRH custom chambered in .260 Rem. but again with a longer tube. I am still pondering the virtues of availability / durability of brass and barrel wear. The .260 Rem. has lower shooting cost economics in its favor and little is lost in hunting performance until loading heavier bullets or reaching way out there. I suppose all things considered the 111 LRH in 6.5-284 may get the nod. It appears to offer better hunting performance, better Norma brass though more costly, and will work as is from the factory with the affore mentioned comb modification. Thanks again and good shooting! [/QUOTE]
