    Barrel choice for 6.5PRC custom

    Thomasj1107, never had an issue with the cf barrel, as I stated 260 Rem varmint with a long shank, 10 to 12 rds in 90 or 2 min stages of fire. Had a benchmark #3, kreiger #3 and a bartlein #2b, all similar contours and obviously lighter than a 3b, chambered in 6.5wsm, 270wsm and 7 rem mag. Great...

    Barrel choice for 6.5PRC custom

    Thomasj1107, I actually ran a cf wrapped 260 barrel in matches about 5 years ago. Never had any issue with mirage caused by heat coming off the barrel. Now obviously just 10 or 12 rd stages of fire and a scope with max mag of 16, rhat cf barrel was a remington varmint contour. In fact I never...

    Barrel choice for 6.5PRC custom

    Not much difference weight wise between a cf #4 and a #13. Obviously the 4 starts fatter and goes smaller while the 13 is more of a traditional rem varmint contour.

    Barrel choice for 6.5PRC custom

    I recently finished my 6.5prc build and the biggest compromise from having it set up, as a purely hunting rifle, was the barrel. Used a Benchmark Ibex stock, 34 ounces, for a scope, I used a leupy 4.5-14x40 in Hawkins hybrid rings, total 16.5 ounces. High Desert dbm, Hells Canyon billet mag...

    Tikka T3 vs T3 lite

    I had a Tikka t3 stainless lite in 270wsm, about 6 1/2 lbs, rifle only. Over the years it has seen some little changes, metal shroud, changed bokt handle, bolt stop etc. No real weight change. This year I decided to use some of the pieces I had lying around. Changed out the stock to a cf, no...

    Lightweights

    The tikka t3 or t3x are pretty close to the weight limit, figure 6 1/2 lbs for most standard calibers, always the option as mentioned above to change the stock or even shorten the barrel. They are quality rifles not sure the price used in Canada but here 500 would be ok, if not close to new...

    Lightweights

    The above post, weight, caliber, etc, had a t3 stainless lite in 270wsm about 6.5lbs if I remember correctly, accurate reliable rifle. Plenty left over for a decent scope or even a good cf stock.

    Suppressor with good recoil reduction

    Unfortunately a suppressor doesnt come close to a good brake for recoil reduction. Area 419 developed the Maverick suppressor from what my friends have said they are impressed with the design in both sound suppression and recoil reduction, obviously not cheap but really the only option out...

    SUPPRESSOR QUESTION

    Omega 300 is magnum rated, no issues with the likes of the 300prc. You can call em, they will tell you the same.

    Sig Kilo2400ABS Question

    Zero height is basically bore height, scope centerline above the bore. I will use the offset when I use a can for the different poi.

    Outdoorsman or Slik?

    I've used a variety of tripods over the years, one thing that is for certain, once you have to use the center column if your tripod comes equipped with one. And its necessary to use it to gain height, that extra stability that a heavier tripod even cf or aluminum goes out the window.

    Need Scope Advice

    How much do you want to spend, 3.5-10x40 or 50, is nice for the low end, and enough magnification for 400 yards. I am not a huge fan of most front focal plane reticles in 3.5-4 mag range as there are damn difficult to see unless illuminated and I'm in you age catergory. On a recent 6.5 prc...
