I've Got a couple of 6.5 284'S. Both With 22" Lilja Barrels. 3000Fps Is very Doable with RL-22 And A 130. 6Lb All Up Is Gonna Be another Story..

Thank you.

Your finish on your stock?

Can you tell me about it.

Thx

My best velocity with 140 SST's in the 6.5-284 was with RL-17. Good accuracy at a solid 3,000 fps. Pushed it harder, but groups started opening up. Best accuracy is with Vv 165. Haven't done a lot of work with 130's. Shouldn't be a problem with 3,000 and even a touch over with the 130's.

The stock is a hydrographic dip in carbon fiber pattern. It was done by Cobra Imaging. Very nice finish on a stock, it is topped with 2 coats of a matte automotive type clear coat. It is very tough and has held up very well.
I sent them pictures of a Browning carbon fiber xbolt. I asked them to make it a little darker background, used a charcoal grey basecoat I believe.

Here is the thread.

Very nice, I like it.

Thx

I have been using the wildcat stocks for years, they have been a real sleeper because he was more interested in making autobody parts. Stewart is a heck of a guy and loves to talk guns, be prepared when you call to ask a question about his stocks.

He makes fantastic stocks and cheaper than other manufacturers. They do require a little more fitting than say a McMillan though.

I see he doesnt make one in SA ADL config.

Hmm.

Tom if you call he will make almost anything you want for a very reasonable price.

Thx, I will keep that in mind.

I'm saving his website on my "bookmarks" for future reference.

I just got a 7-08 Ti that's showing a little accuracy promise, however there is still that little voice calling out to turn it into a 6.5 something. I've already got a sub 8 and sub 7 lbs. 6.5x55. Figure a sub 6 lbs. 6.5 something would be even cooler. Always thought the 6.5x47 Lapua sounded sexy, although the standard .260 is probably easier.

I would build the 6.5x47 Lapua for a hunting rifle. You won't have the issue of seating bullets to the lands,and still fitting in the magazine(like the 260 will).
