[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 993381, member: 10291"] Based on your criteria I would go with the 6.5-284. I shoot both the 6.5-284 and the 260Rem. Just about every shooter/hunter I know that starts taking game or busting targets at 700 yards wants to move further out after they become proficient. If this is even a remote possibility the 6.5-284 is a stellar performer. If properly chambered loadwork is minimal, and it is exceptionally accurate with 140 VLD's. I wouldn't pay too much mind to the barrel burning hysteria. For the kind of shooting you will be doing, barrel life won't be much different, or perhaps better than many cartridges capable of it's ballistic performance. You are right to do your homework and make sure your smith is experienced with chambering this cartridge, and, you provide the dimensions! Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
