[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 151461, member: 4557"] Bountyhunter, I was originally going with a Lawton 7500 action. However, I decided to go with the Nesika Model L, 1.470 Action. I wanted a high quality action on this rifle, because I want it to be heavy and that's why I went with the larger action and barrel. I really want the rifle to be very steady, and I wanted it to weigh around the 30 pound mark. The ground squirrels, we shoot at, out here are very small. When you start shooting past 500, and out to 1000 yards, you need a very steady platform. Regarding barrel life, when I shoot squirrels, I maybe get off 50 or 60 shots a day. I use the 17HMR for the shots between 100 and 300 yards and that's where most of the shooting is done on large volume squirrel hunting. I will only use this rifle for shots from around 400 to 1000 yards. I am only able to shoot in a specific area only three times a year, so I don't get to go as often as I would like. I wish I lived in Pdog country. I know the 6x284 is a barrel burner if you put lots of rounds down the tube during a session. However, I am not one of those guys who keeps on shooting. I take time off for the barrel to cool. I will also clean during the session, and my friend and I take turns spotting. I loved my last 6x284, it was awesome. Plus, I want the extra velocity it will provide when using the 105grn VLD bullets. Also, everyone else I shoot with has either a 22BR or 6BR, so I want to different too. I think this project is going to be a very potent long range squirrel killer I agree with you guys about the 6BRX and the 6x47, they are a much better choice for high volume varmint shooting and the barrel life is much better too. However, there is nothing like having the power of a 6x284 when shooting at ranges out to 1000 yards. My last 6x284 was awesome, and I used a 87grn V-max. So, I can't wait to see how my new 6x284 is going to perform with the high BC 105's. From what everyone has said on this site, the 6x284, with high BC bullets, is an awesome varmint set up.
