How about a model 116 in 6.5x284 with a barrel longer than 22"?
The decision to put the shorter barrel on a caliber like that was absurd. If they had put at least a 24" barrel on them I would have bought that instead of my 260. Oh well I guess, bought a Savage 6.5 either way, and it's a shooter as they all are. Could have been worse, they could have used a 1 in 9" twist like other companies. Like other people here I jumped the big green Remington ship and wound up in a sea of Savages. I'm glad they have embraced the 6.5's.
