1967spud Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Right this is another project on the forum, if you think there has been to many please say and i wont go on about it. If you want to hear about it, i am going to do a blog type thread. From selection of calibre to deciding budget and finally building, with help from people on the forum only i meant to say. I have decided to do a 6.5x284 calibre rifle as i want a long range, fox shooting and deer rifle, i have put in for the relative variations so once my licence is back. "SpudGun" is a goer.

n8ess Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think this calibre is next on the agenda for me too, so I'm looking forward to the posts and seeing the final result. Good luck with the new build. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thanks Neil, I only put in for my variation on Thursday and they said "it could take up to 4 weeks". I am already camped by the letter box. The more i think about it, the more i would like to go to a tactical style weapon using the sako 75 action if poss ( i am only thinking this action because i know them and to be honest the time scale in waiting for a BAT, SURGEON or RG Rifles action to turn up). And the budget is some thing i need to be wary of, i have a rough budget of 2k and maybe another k for glass unless one crops up. But as i say i am going to do this by contacts on the forum, i.e. seconhand actions stocks and the like. If i cant get it on the forum or from the forum members, i will have to wait untill one turns up. I do like the idea of getting Kal to do some of his magic as well. But open to ideas as well along the way. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'm sure several members on here could get you a custom action within 48 hours, Baldiedave from SYSS for instance as they have/had Surgeon and I believe Lawton actions sitting on the shelf. I did a project like this myself when choosing and ordering the components for my 6.5x47 and very enlightening it was as well. Do lots of research and look into every possibility. I look forward to reading how your project goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have to be mindfull of the budget as well, i dont mind pushing it a bit. Research is the word at the moment , how much would a lawton, surgeon be for a magazine type. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Good luck with the project Spud, sounds interesting. I'm currently trying to semi custom a Rem 700 in .204 and trying to source bits and services on here as funds allow. I've got an HS Precision stock so far which I'd like to get bedded by one of the guys on here, a few other plans are in mind too. I look forward to reading about yours, ATB Gareth.

baldie Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Surgeons are sat on the shelf at around £1000 [i think] and the lawtons will be at heathrow on tuesday morning. They will be cheaper, but i dont know the exact figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 mon/tue/wed, are workshop only days spud, and the phone isn,t answered. The rest of the week it is, and messages followed up on, otherwise we would never get anything done. The surgeon is fully compatable with the AICS stock, no problem. It will accept any remmy 700 associated parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967spud Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for the piccies Ray. I do have one question and may be it is a question i should not really ask but here goes. I have been calling the calibre 6.5x284 and one or two people including Ray have been calling it 6.5-284, i have noticed in various reloading books as well both terms are used. Which if not both is the correct terminology? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark forgot to mention , when you use a moderator on the 6.5-284 the recoil is so soft that you can spot hits on your long shots !!! Also try the 140 A-max when shes built - i don't think you will be disappointed!!! All the best................... RAY...............................................

6mmBR Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think its designated 6.5-284. Normally X means the case length ie 6.5x47 The 6.5-284 is formed from a 284 case so the - indicates the parent case. ie .22-250 as this is formed from the .250 savage case. Just a thought may be wrong? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks a lot that clears that up. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 There are also some variants within the "main" standard 6.5-284 Norma 6.5-284 Shehane 6.5-284 Win All are similar, the Shehane has slightly blown shoulders allowing a couple of extra grain case capacity. Norma produces factory ammo for their own case. "284 Win" is the necked down original from the 7mm (284 Winchester case) Ive run a 6.5-284 for severl years, I am in the process or re-barrelling it after 3000 rounds, its a great calibre, for Deer, Fox or the range.

6mmBR Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 This is my baby She's a Stolle F class action with a 30" Krieger 8 twist barrel in a Mcmillan McHale stock. She just loves 140 A max. I use here for F-class shoots and this summer I hope she will get me in the 1000 yard club, with the help of Nemasis .243 Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
