Savage is showing that they have a new for 2007 F-Class factory rifle chambered in 6.5×284 Norma. This is one of the very few factory rifles chambered in this long range cartridge. It would be great to see this cartridge continue to grow in popularity. Loaded with the sierra 142gr or Lapua 139gr, this cartridge is great at long ranges. Of course, the other specialty VLD & ULD bullets also work great (some even better).
I’m sure after many responses from enthusiasts like you that recognized the error in the scope they used to “bust” the myth, the show Myth Busters has recently revisited the myth. Sources say they used a PU scope with .30-06 FMJ ammo. They did get one shot that traveled through and penetrated to fatal depths in the gelatin and another that was a ‘maybe’. I did not hear how many total attempts they made, but in the end the verdict was “Plausible” instead of “Busted”.
I have not heard when they will air the revisit, so you’ll have to keep your eyes open. Some of my data above may not be 100% accurate, but it appears to be pretty reliable.
