Utah,
No offense taken, Sir. Here is the whole story so that you fellas can feel like I asked your opinion.(snicker)
I had a guy owed me lotsa money and I ended up taking his guns so as not to lose my ass. The whole deal left a bad taste in my mouth and I have never felt so crappy about getting a few new guns. The only rifle I intend to keep is a Remington VSSF II in 22-250. I have a bunch of varmint guns and just bought another Win Coyote in .243 last year, so adding another varmint gun is total redundancy.
I would be looking at a 6.5-284 if I had a long action. Instead I would like to do a .260AI on a short action with a 26" tube shooting a 140 gr Berger over RL 17. From everything I have read, I should (with a little luck) be able to push a 140 at nearly 2,900 fps and maybe faster. Call me crazy, call me stupid but it is what it is, and if worse comes to worse I will just screw the factory bbl back on and call it a day.
