[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 23237, member: 54"] Your post is a little confusing. You stated the primary use will be close range big game hunting. This would necessitate a typical hunting rifle configuration in both barrel and stock. The 6.5-284 is a specialty long range round, best suited for target work (although of course kills very well). For your needs, the 338-06 mentioned above would be ideal. A factory Winchester in 300WSM would be a good choice if you want something new. For your purpose, I would leave the Remington alone and just buy a factory rifle in a standard 30 or 338 caliber. [/QUOTE]
