I've just had my 6.5x.284 completed, it was based on a Ruger M77 action I had...
I ended up sending it to Hugh Bradley @ Stager Sports, he has done a fantastic job, complete new barrel, bored 1-8 twist 22" reamed, fitted, bead blasted bedded in the Boyds stock, threaded, the whole job, fantastic price, amazing service, always in touch with me if there was a query before doing something.. I couldn't be happier...
Sighted in a couple of weeks ago, 3 shots and it was spot on at 100m, walked it out to 300, 350, 400, 500m and at 500m I can place shots within 4" of bullseye, mind you heat haze made it difficult to fine tune... I was throwing 123g and 142g Sierra HPBT. Next I'll be trying some 129g Accubond LR.
I'd highly recommend Hugh.
