I love my Cooper Model 92 in 6.5x284. It has a 24 inch barrel and a 1.5" muzzle break. I will likely loan/give it to my father due to his declining ability to carry and shoulder heavier hunting rifles.
Now this leaves me with the nice problem of having to buy another.
I love the 6.5/264 caliber and am wanting people's opinion as to which caliber to get another Model 92 in. Of course, I could always get another 6.5x284 but it can also come in a 264 win mag, 6.5x300 weatherby or a 6.5-06AI.
The 24 inch barrel has me a bit concerned about getting these bigger 6.5 cartridges but I am interested to hear other people's opinions.
I will likely use this as my all around gun (mule deer, antelope and the occasional elk).
Any thoughts are appreciated.
 
Agree ..the 6.5/06 will do everything the others will do without driving you to the nut house trying to figure out how to make it work and or finding materials...
