[QUOTE="Diamondback, post: 1501819, member: 29413"] I would do neither. A Savage 116 FCSS stainless in 6.5 284 Norma - 24" barrel in stainless and if your reloads don't group 1/2" then have a new barrel on it - 26" and run reloads through it to find what it likes. You can spend a whole lot of $$$$ if you want, but if it groups 1/2 in or less off a factory build, who cares? .30 cal has to go up too high in bullet weight to get the BC benefits that a 6.5 can. If you want more than 6.5, 7mm is nice for bullet weight and reaps high BC under 200 grain bullets. Why a 300 Win Mag? [/QUOTE]
