Swampman, that is why I chose the the 25-284. It did everything I needed.

Ridgerunner, funny you should mention Kirby, he is the one building my 25-284, and he suggested the 25-284 over the 6.5-284. Since swampman is not wanting to shoot long range (1000 yards) I think the 25-284 would be better than the big 257AM.
