6.5x284 is on a distinguished road
Default Re: recommendations on a GOOD sniper rifle

Try a 6.5X284 win. on a Rem. 700 long action. There are many barrel companies that make barrels for this round. Hart in Nescopeck PA is a good one. The brass can be bought from Midway and is made by a couple of different companies. Bullets in the 140 gr. range seem to be the most popular. Berger and Lapua make very good bullets for this round. I also seen that Savage is chambering a 6.5x284 if you want to save some money. I think they are around 1000--1200 dollars. Whatever you get mount a high end 30mm. scope on it.
