Greetings all.

I have a Rem700 that was going to use for a new 280 rem build.
Have the .284 Shilen select match SS #5 barrel already.

I was hoping someone could chime in about chamber suggestions for a new build. Or which of the rifles (I already Own) I should use for a new build.
Originally was going to use the 7mm action for new build. And still may.

I already own the following (all Rem700 actions)
243win - custom
270win - Factory
30-06 - Factory
7mm - Factory
308 - custom
300WM - custom

I have the brass, bullets & dies for all, including the possible future 280rem (NOT AI).

Any suggestions which one I should pull from the "heard" for a new .284 build? Chambering?

Looking for a SC deer rifle, but would also like to hit gongs @ 100 - 500yds.

ps. sorry if repost, couldn't find similar topic.
 
Yeah...you want to find one in long action with the same size bolt face which is .473

That would be the .243, .270 .308 30-06. For me, it would probably be the .270. Gotta also check to make sure magazine area is wide enough, as the .284 is maybe .040 wider
 
I probably should have been more specific.
I would like to use one of the FACTORY m7 actions I already have for a new .284 build.

It would be the 7mm, 30/06, or 270win, all long actions.
I just listed the others to eliminate those suggestions.
Don't really care about the bolt face (ie: 7mm), that can be changed.

Just curious about which one of the 3 I should use for a new .284 build, and what chambering. I know it's limited with the .284 barrel I already have.

Since this is a SC deer /500yd max gong rifle, I don't think a custom 7mm would be feasible, overkill..
