[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 1952895, member: 78732"] Exactly- all you have to do is swap the bolt stop and get a long action mag. Pretty simple conversion. I have a 6.5 Sherman and while I enjoy the round, having a few extra steps to form brass initially can be a little annoying. Grabbing factory ammo off the shelf for my 6 Creed is much more convenient when I find myself lacking time to load. I’d go 6.5-284 over the 6.5-280 AI for that reason. Also, the tikka mags might limit your OAL on the 6.5-280 AI. [/QUOTE]
