Hello all,
I'm a competitive pistol and 3-GUN shooter. I'm inheriting a 6.5x284 rifle from my dad in the very near future. I live in the Phoenix area and plan on giving precision rifle shooting a go. I'm having a hard time finding any current threads on the forums with regard to the 6.5x284 cartridge. Is this cartridge "outdated"? Should I not waste my time with the rifle?

Rifle is a BR Savage in a heavy laminate stock and a fluted stainless barrel with maybe 20 rounds through it.

Thanks in advance for ANY help or guidance on this, and I apologize if I'm not following protocol on BR.com.

I essentially know nothing about shooting 500+ yards..
 
No. You will have a bunch of fun with it if you don't go crazy and just enjoy shooting your dads gun.
