Thread: Dual purpose 284win advice.

Hey all,

I'm new here. I’m looking to build /buy a dual purpose rifle. The purposes being regular bush hunting and long Range shooting/hunting.
I’m looking to be able to shoot to 700m, more if I’m able.

I’m in favour of the 284 win as the calibre and am after advice on what I should use as a starting point.
I purchased a Tikka M595 in 22-250 with the intention of building this 284, but I’ve decided I like it too much.

There is also the downside to the short action limiting the capacity with the longer projectiles.
This is steering me towards a T3 in 7mm08, modified to take 284win, replacing the magazine and intake with an AI intake and mag.
This seems like a fairly simple cost effective solution.

What are your thought?
What else should I be considering?
Is the SA capacity a real issue?
Should I be looking at building on a mauser action with match barrel etc?

Any advice would be appreciated.
