I was dead set on having one built, but today I was talking to a buddy of mine and he mentioned that I should look at the Cooper Model 52 in the 6.5x284. He has a few Coopers, none in this caliber, but he said all of his shoot a one hole group and are just sick. What are your thoughts???

I am a remmy lover and as much as it pains me to say this, the two most accurate factory bone stock rifles I have ever seen were Savage FTR rifles. One was 308 and the other was a 6.5x284.

I have been a non Savage guy forever, BUT.... the darned things SHOOT so well I am thinking of buying one myslef. Probably will in 22-250 and re-chamber it to 22/243. If I had one in 6/284 it would quickly become a 264 WinMag. Thinking of doin that one as well, but having a full on custom in 257WBY makes this one a lower priority. Yes, I am a speed whore.
