Well, it does start with 6.5 but ends with Weatherby....ROCK ME !!!! Pure Beanfield, nothing tactical, pure hun ting the beans.

Or it could be 6.5 Creedmoor





OR 6.5 Swede, not really a true beaner

Does a wheat field count? 1 mile by 1 mile.

Longest shot was 470, dropped where it stood with a 175 SMK.

Pick one, it doesn't matter. Cook a barrel on one of them practicing, and hunting, put a new barrel on it, then take any one of them to the "beanfield".

I hunted bean fields for 50 years and used a 270 for the last 40 years of that. If I was going back to that part of the country, I'd park my beloved 260 and dust off my trusty old Sako 270. It's just a bigger hammer.

If I had to add a rifle, I think I'd lean toward the 6.5-284 or the 6.5 Rem Mag. Both of them are equal to the 270, and you could give them extra points for a better BC, but inside 400 yards BC difference between .277 and .264 doesn't mean much.

Hard to beat the 270 for the bean field, though my hard headed cousin thinks his 6.5-280 (yes, you read that right) is better. I tell him it's a 6.5-06 but he says he necked down his 280 brass, so by God it's a 6.5-280.

You left out .264 Win Mag, JG. I am surprised. No---I am disappointed...

My apologies, sir. It was not intentional.

Corrected.

Looks much better now.

Growing up in Kentucky "bean field" meant we were crossing the river to hunt Ohio. And "rifle" meant 12 gauge slugs.

Two years ago the Ohio DNR got all generous and started allowing limited straight-walled rifle & pistol calibers...better know your range estimations & dope charts well when a 45-90 is considered the "hot" rifle in camp.

6mm, 6.5mm or 7mm. Various flavors of each and they all work well.

6.5 Allen Mag.

"Best bean field rifle" says title...didn't ask for caliber...

Setup with a Sako TRG42 and go from there...

Just like the car or truck you drive, use what you like. Rifle needs to put the bullet where it goes every time it makes a cold bore shot.

Easy....Take a Sako action, screw a Bartlein 2B on it, chamber it in 7STW, put a Nightforce F1 on top, load up some 160 AB's, and rock on. Over and done

^^I like your style! Lots of great parts came together on that rifle.
