Wcarper,
What did you end up choosing? I‘m in a similar situation. I need to order a barrel soon for a Tikka build I am doing and trying to decide on 7PRC vs 6.5 PRC that I will use as my one rifle for both deer and elk.
I think the question for me is if I believe the 6.5 PRC is adequate...
Happy Thanksgiving. I’m going to restart this thread to see how people’s experience with CarbonSix has been for people recently. My potential build hinges on holidays sales including the CarbonSix sale. I need to decide pronto if I’m going to go through with it. It would be a Tikka prefit...
I am in the market for a new rifle and a new scope. I thought I had decided on the Leupold VX5HD, but the Rokslide Rifle Scope Field Evaluations steered me towards the Trijicon Credo® HX 2.5-15x42. It‘s a little heavier than I wanted but I will take the extra ounces for the durability and...
You’re totally right Encore. One phone call shouldn’t be a deal breaker and I’m not knocking them off the list of options yet. But when it comes time to decide on a rifle, that interaction will always come to mind. I have spoken to Hornady, Vortex and Bergara customer service for various...

I have no affinity for the .277. I’m just looking for my Goldilocks western hunting cartridge and it would mimic the 6.8 W’s ballistics but in a short action 7mm. Similar to a 7 SAUM or 7-6.5 PRC but with all the rifle and ammo offerings of something more mainstream.
I agree the .25 is more likely and a better fit for commercial success. Selfishly I just want a cartridge for hunting similar to 6.8 Western’s ballistics but with better factory rifle and ammo support and hopefully staying power.
My kids play a lot of sports and there is this term, “Athletic arrogance“ that describes a kid that believes in his/her abilities so much that they try and often succeed at things on the court or field that other kids won’t attempt because of that extreme confidence. Love it or hate it, Hornady...
