Thread: Short barreled 6.5-284

Go the 260, @superdiver had one that performed really well with a short barrel. So do a few others. The 6.5x284 doesnt tend to respond well to the chop. You could go 30/284 which has been done here but then you could also chop a 300wsm and put a can on it, or a 300saum if you like wild cats. Both known to respond well to short barrels, and then youd still have an extremely capable rifle down range. I'm currently taking the alternative route and building a 24" 284 to try and chase every last fps out of the cartridge. (But that's just me) alot of guys like the bush pig style of rifle and they serve a purpose. At the end of the day everyone will have an opinion, trust your gut and enjoy it
