[QUOTE="David P. Herne, post: 28600, member: 29"] [b]Re: Lazzeroni\'s .264 Phantom?[/b] Jerry, I think you've nudged me even closer to going for the chambering that currently seems to be the most luminous and revered of all cartridges in the subject weight class - the 6.5mm-.284 Norma. I suppose I should have simply asked: "How many of you would build a medium-weight repeater chambered for the Lazzeroni .264 Phantom over the 6.5mm-.284 Norma, if you wanted an all around hunting rig that could reasonably be lugged all day long, be super-accurate, not tear the **** out of even small game at < 200 yards, but still work well on deer-sized game at > 600 yards?" The rifle I envision will be built around a Nesika Bay Precision Hunter Series action, having a McMillan Nesika Varmint stock and a 26" medium varmint/bull taper barrel (i.e. probably 1.200" for 2" tapering to .925" at the muzzle). And I think the feed ramp on these actions will make short work of that stubby cartridge with it's 35 degree angle shoulder. But hey, nothing is set in stone. That's why I share these thoughts here. What do you think and how, if at all, would you change the basic design? For instance, I've also thought I might use the Dakota 76 action, or even better, the Dakota 97 action.
