[QUOTE="cabinfever, post: 535157, member: 14101"] I just posted this over on another thread. "My 6.5-284 shooting 140 vlds has had no problem taking down the biggest of elk at extended ranges. IMO the 6.5-284 has the best long range capabilities with the least amount of recoil of any caliber on the market. If you are like me, and are not a big fan of recoil, but still want a riflle that is good out to 1000 yds on elk size game, this is your rifle. I've had a hard time understanding the ultra mag craze with the big loud muzzle breaks. Seems like overkill on elk size and smaller game." I have done a lot of research and spent a small fortune trying to answer this very question. I'd have a 6.5-284 built to finsh out with scope right at 10-11 pounds and throated to shoot 140 berger vlds. You will never look back. It's no longer a wildcat and according to a certain survey on this web site it is currently one of the most sought after cartridges for new custom builds. [/QUOTE]
