Kevin:

I haven’t shot any matches (yet – F class just became available to me), but I have done a lot of long range varmint shooting.

Pictures of the rifle with all technical data are at:

http://www.the-long-family.com/6_5-284.htm

Here is a link to a set of pages showing the rifle in action on the South Dakota prairie, with a picture of my hit on a prairie dog at 1362 yards:

I am in the process of installing a new Pac-Nor Stainless Super Match 3 groove, 6.5mm, 30”, 8.5 twist barrel in heavy varmint contour, again chambered in 6.5-284. The current Pac-Nor 9 twist that I am taking off has some life left in it, and will be set back and chambered for that rifle in 260 Ackley. I plan to use the rifle as a switch barrel rifle this coming trip to South Dakota in June. I am expecting that the 260AI will perform nearly the same as the 6.5-284, but with a bit less powder. If it does (using the take-off barrel is very low cost experiment) then the next barrel will be in 260 AI.

 So, not a match shooter, but if you want some of these pictures in a larger format, or any other information, just let me know.

 Great product!

 Cheers,
