you will really like a 6.5x284 its a cartridge that shoots small groups very easy and is extremely accurate ,for a hunting rifle you won`t burn the barrel out if you use it mostly for hunting.
I have a friend in Montana that has one built on a short action and the first time I pulled the trigger on his I hit a small-medium sized silhouette at 700 yards......I was craving one after that. lol He does regret not having his built on a long action where he could shoot longer heavier bullets. Another friend in Montana that just recently passed had one built on a 30-06 and made a many kill at long ranges with it. Its just an interesting caliber that really intrigues me for some reason.
