How about some good actions and barrels chambered for the 6.5 Grendal? Looks like a great up and comming cartradge for the AR boys, and I think it could be aplied to bolt action rifles.

Good as they are (6.5x55 & 260Rem., etc.), if they were likely to be all that popular/in demand, then the gun companies would cater to ya' with more offerings. The 6.5s have just never been all that
popular.

Now vapor to asnwer your quesiton,some ofmy firends sell and buy 6.5-284 pretty regularly. I would say its not really a wildcat anymore.

But can't say I buy wildcats. But I hear ya.

RE: why haven't they asked?
 

Here is my 2 cents for your original question. Take it for what it is worth.

There is only a tiny percentage of the shooting public that frequent shooting and hunting sites. I strongly suspect that many here who alsopost on other sites under the same or different names. Therefore the percentage of similar answers or preferences appears to be high. I don't honestly believe that 6.5-06 or6.5-284 would be that popular.

A vast majority of the hunters and shooters in this world own a couple/ several firearms in standard calibers, buy their ammo at Wal-Mart, and are happy.
