Similar, but not the same. I have a custom 6.5-284 that I like a bunch. Its a 8.5 twist 26" med sporter wt. Krieger on a pre-64 M-70 with Jewell trigger in a Boyd, Jon Sundra laminated stock, pillared, glassed, free floated and torqued. It wears a Swaro Z5 3.5-18x44 BT with Outdoorsmans turret, calibrated to my best load of 140 gr. Bergers or SST's and Vv N165 at 2,950 fps. Off a bench, it will group 4 1/2" at 600 yds. with progressively smaller groups back to teens and twos at a hundred.
Its a great whitetail, pronghorn, hog and 'yote rifle. I have several deer rifles and this one is my favorite. From a solid rest, almost anything out there is in jeopardy. Its the confidence, knowing what a piece of equipment will do, that adds to the enjoyment of a hunt regardless what ends up in the freezer. A very pleasant rifle to shoot and a pleasure to hunt with.
