With the match chamber I am still trying to figure out how to read a reamer print and such, so with it having a neck of .2975 least the print I have that's what it is.. Would that be a turn or no turn neck? Doesn't say on the print that I can see..

Thats what i was hoping for.. Thanks.. Now to start scrapping money together to get a mag short action.

I was just looking at the 6.5 saum match chamber print from James at Northland. Thinking of going with it as well was wondering if I was still going to be able to mag feed from wsm accurate mags.. I was going to go with ELD-x or Berger Elites.. Want to build up a good long range hunting rifle...

Awesome I have been trying to figure out which Aics mag would work the best for the Nosler. Did you have to mod your mag to get it to fit? Hope it shoots great for ya. You definitely have me thinking. I did see that Accurate Mag makes a rum mag so that might work as well..

Well sweet deal I found this post.... I am thinking of building a 28 as well... Trying to figure out bottom metal, I just found a donor action 110 in 30-06 it's a staggered feed blind mag so will need to mod the action just a touch.. How was McGowan to deal with on your barrel ? Awesome...

Yes the 110 is a long action and that is a good price.. Calibers are pretty much anything goes depending on what you want to try.. If it is a standard bolt face ie 270, 06, basically 308 size. Or magnum 7mm 300 ect. Advantage with savage you can swapthr bolt heads to go from a 06 to a 300...

I have built 3 rifles now on savage actions 2 were pawnshop finds and one was new..They are great diy builds and not complicated just take your time and doo lots of research before hand.. I used a 116, a 111 and a 11... 2 6.5 x284's and a 6.5x47 Lapua.. Stock choices a a bit limited on the...

You are right they are different animals.. definately a apples and oranges thing. I built a 6.5x284 and it shoots great has easy shoot able recoil without a break. No problem shooting 50 rounds prone without a soar shoulder the next day. Do you want a strictly hunting gun or do you want...

How could I forget the gun pictures. I have others but not on my phone..

Thanks... It is a great round for pretty much everything in the lower 48... It's a Shilen 26" varmint contour 1-8 and a basic bell and Carlson medalist stock I just opened up the barrel chanel. 55gr. Of H1000 behind a 140 gr. Vld at 2950ish. $15 stock pack from amazon helped with cheek...

Since finishing up a Savage action customized rifle in 6.5x284 for my dad it has made the rounds this hunting season.. I built it for him so I could use it lol:D. I did the load development and have shot it the most but have yet to take a critter of any kind with it.. maybe the luck will follow...

Hey I know the feeling I have Stainless classic in 338 win and it has the pencil barrel and is not much of a shooter. Is pry the recoil more than anything but it shakes scopes to death. I am on my second scope and it needs to go back to get checked out by Burris before i move it to a different...

Not sure what you are wanting to do for long range, hunting? Targets? Win m70's are great guns always feed and are a nice design... If I was hunting lions or grizzly I know that the thing will always grab a round... Now for the down side they have a shorter magazine box than pretty much anybody...

Great to hear... Longer ranges are the best test on what they can do.. I was a bit disappointed at 200 with group size around an inch to 3/4 of an inch but I am sure it is me... Took it to 400 and 600 and man the 140 vlds shoot... 2 1/2 inch group of 4 shots at 600... Seating depth didn't seem...

Have you found a load that works yet.. I have been working on a load for the 6.5x284 I built on a savage action.. I have tried H-4831sc,h4350,Retumbo and H1000.. All gave good accuracy but I got more velocity with Rtumbo and H1000.... H4350 was the slowest I don't have a crono so have...
