New Build, 284 Winchester
I am building a 284 Winchester using a Savage PTA action.
What barrel diameter do you recommend?
I think the large shank action threading is somewhere around 1.116", do you recommend staying at this figure or possibly going more, like 1.250"?
Or smaller than 1.116"
Re: New Build, 284 Winchester
What will you be using this for?

Competition, 600 to 1k yds.
Re: New Build, 284 Winchester
Well, if you can stand it, straight, or even straight and fluted.
Need it a little lighter, heavy varmint.
My 2 cents worth.

This gun will be strickly for competition shot using a Farley rest.
The main concern: If I go a little larger on the barrel, the barrel will be bigger than the threads/barrel nut which might not look right!
Re: New Build, 284 Winchester
if it was me I'd go 1" and use the nut but if I found a straight 1.25 barrel i'd consider casterateing it and use the extra barrel for the shoulder?
