Speaking of customizing a Ruger. What problems might one have running a 284 Win case through a SA MK II all weather originally chambered for 260 Rem?
I bought matching boat paddle SS 260's for my son and myself several years ago. They both shot like crap with any load I tried. After bedding and dinking with this and that and finally sending mine in for a new factory laminate stock, which I sanded the pressure point out of the barrel channel and then epoxy bedded from tang to the front end of the stock. I got mine to shoot about 1.5 moa.
My son's rifle is still shooting 2.5 to 4 moa with the factory boat paddle stock, on which I glassed the action area.
So I just traded with my son and gave him the 1.5 inch rifle, and I took the crappy one, thinking I would send it in for a new barrel and some accurizing work.
Maybe another 6mm-284, or possibly a 6.5-284?
Or perhaps something in 7mm for the kids to kill big game with?
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
My ruger SS 270 with the boat paddle stock shoots 2" at 300 yards with the 110g tipped triple shock at 3350 fps, all I did was bed the forearm and hone the trigger...really sweet rifle.

If you throat in conjunction with COAL,it'll do you nice thangs. Have yerked triggers on 77's in 6-284,25-284,284 and 30-284.

Sell them to me in the boat paddle stocks. Seriously.

How much is a six moa 260 with less than 100 rounds through it worth?

Found a 'Smith today in Boise who says he can make a 1/4 moa 6.5-284 out of it. He likes Kreiger barrels. I think I will give him a shot.
Really watch the throating,in that application.
I'd be sending a dummy round,as a throat blueprint and it'd incorporate the highest BC projectile of my intent,seated to allow land chasin' from the box.
That is what I did with the two I sent to Pac-Nor. Three dummys for each rifle seated to .010 short of mag constraints.
Perhaps in this application make it .030 shy of mag lehgth? I can't imagine I'll ever shoot anything heavier than 140's in it. I have been using AB's and BT's for years in the 260 and 264. But I think I will pick up some 140 Berger VLD for throating purposes. That should make it good to go with what ever I decide to feed it.
8 inch twist?
