Roe Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks guys. I shoot a 6,5x284 loaded to 6,5x55 velocities (rather, I get long barrel x55 in a short barrel x284) which can explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks guys. I shoot a 6,5x284 loaded to 6,5x55 velocities (rather, I get long barrel x55 in a short barrel x284) which can explain it? You also shot a Sako 6,5x55 for a lot of years before turning to the dark side.............. That¨s maybe where the confusion came from, that and the last line of your posts.

flyingfisherman Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hey Roe, Just a thought, but what are your plans once your 6.5x284 barrel gets to the end of its life? What are your options? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'll have it destructed and removed from my firearms certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfisherman Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sorry Roe, i meant what will you replace it with? Basically wondering about the cost and lack of availability of 6.5x284 barrels from Blaser. I hear conflicting things about whether Blaser will make you a specific barrel + calibre to order, but what seems consistent is that if they do, its uber expensive.

Roe Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Aaaah! I was able to convince the importer to convince Blaser to make 5 barrels in 6.5x284. Didn't have the money for that, but I did have a credit card and hopefully that's me settled for 8-10 yrs. If I wasn't so stocked with x284 cases, ordinary x55 barrels would have been a lot easier.

flyingfisherman Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 So with a bit of persistence, its possible to get blaser to do a run of barrels... Out of interest, what life have you got from the blaser barrels in 6.5x284? Myself and a friend are looking into other options such as rechambering 6.5 swede barrels or getting other barrel manufacturers to make replacements in europe. I know there are people in the states who do this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 With a bit of persistence they offer to make the barrels with an extra fee of appr euro 320 per. Bixn Andy makes barrels for Blaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSoutherner Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great Video. Thanks for sharing. I went on my first stalking trip in September, and would like to do more. Your video may inspire me to do something about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
