[QUOTE="ID Mtn Man, post: 2116139, member: 97084"] I think the caliber conversion is a phenomenal idea. I personally would not do it with the existing barrel. My personal reasoning: A gunsmith is going to have to remove the barrel, rechamber, headspace, and reinstall. Money spent on a tube with rounds sent down before. You will likely have to wait weeks to months to wait to get a gun back with a used, factory barrel. You're then putting a cartridge that tends to have lower round counts than average. Either way, keep us posted with progress! Tikka actions are phenomenal and the 6.5x284 is a killer round. [/QUOTE]
