Cool long box on the remmy. My winchester has mag length of 3.070...I had preferred to keep COAL length at around 3.000 as it's easy to plug the rounds in...might revisit a longer high BC projectile such as your lrab at 3.030

Just looking into options down the line. I have a t3 in 260 with an 18" bbl, long mag and long bolt stop. From what I understand the bolt face is the same so is it as easy as a gunsmith just reaming it out? 284 is like catnip to me haha

Different bore size man. Would be a rebarrel job. Not many gunsmiths doing the work on tikka barrels anymore either.
Tbh though inside 400 odd the 284 isn't going to do anything the 260 can't do, and the 260 will do it with significantly less recoil.

So what buy an aftermarket barrel? Thought I read something about rem my barrels being able to be fitted into tikka actions? I plan to have one gruntier rifle to do all so a 284 superpig ticks all my boxes. 1000m+ targets and good killing power to 800m~ ideally

Cleland gunsmith could rechamber your .260 to a 6.5x284 other wise it's a new barrel to get a straight. 284.

Yeah man. I believe the duleys use rem take off barrels. If I was going to all that trouble id spend the extra couple hundy on a reputable custom barrel.

I had the same thoughts when I purchased my 284, but the reality of my hunting actually is that 500+ is a fuck of a long way. And while I've got grunt out to 800 odd I'd never dream of shooting an animal that far away. Reading wind at those distances is a real challenge.

By all means if you want one go for it, but if your anything like me then the current rifle you have will do the job fine.

I would keep the 260 and build a 284 with a std length barrel in a c.f. stock for jollies

Exactly what I'm doing now. Just with stug for stock work and shes all finished

Cool, wish it were me. What action are you using?



you using?

It's a reamed tikka 7mm 08. Cleland gunsmiths did the job several weeks ago. Load development once it's back from stug now that my brass and dies have arrived.

I’ve got a Tikka barrel that’s been reamed to 284 that shoots real well. PM me if Keen
