1967spud Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 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. which one do i ask for when and if i get to the rebarreling stage cheers mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dasherman Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 For some reason I get a message " you cannot send a pm until April 10th" anyway it was a No 3 profile with a 1.200" shank turned down to the Sako diameter of 1.120". Very close to original sporter profile if you cut the barrel in the correct place. You can fit a larger shank diameter but you have to face the taper off the front of the action and then standard inletted stocks won't fit without a bit of work in the barrel channel.

Wsm Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 For some reason I get a message " you cannot send a pm until April 10th" That`ll be something to do with the new spam pm filter that IPS have been messing with over the last few days I`ll have a look at the settings now Hopefully sorted now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dasherman I see on the Border Barrels webby they do a Tika heavy contour barrel with a 1.15 shank size will that fit? If i wanted to, could i keep that size barrel conotur all the way up so in effect it would become a straight profile barrel? Would the shank handle the extra weight also?
