[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 151430, member: 12"] Wildcat Goodgrouper is right, the 6-284 is a barrel burner normally under 1000 rounds and it is not widely used anymore for that reason. I would look at the 6BRX, or the 6x47. The BRX is running 107s at 2950 and the 6x47 is running them at 3150 with no pressure. My choice would be the 6x47. Go to [url="http://www.6mmbr.com"]www.6mmbr.com[/url] and do some reading on all three. You basically are talking at gun for LR squirrel hunting with lots of rounds down range. The 6BRs are running 2-3k round life minimum and it looks like the 6x47 could be close. Hmm 1-9 twist with Berger 95 grs and bye bye squirrel. Also suggest you really look at the need for the super big barrel and action you were talking about. No need for a 1.450 tube and action to support it. A Lawton 7500 the 1.350 model for $800 will do the same with a 1.250/1.350" tapered to 1". That will save you at least $150 on the blank alone. BH [/QUOTE]
