    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    My rifle is 8.6lbs scoped and it is very mild for recoil. Doesn't feel that different then my 308. I was initially concerned how it would be in a lightweight build but it's a non issue. I can shoot for a long time with out it bothering me and I am not a large human.

    Black Bear on my Deer

    Thanks! I do have a bear tag, though the spot is very thick. I thought about that but it would be a tough spot to get a shot off...

    Black Bear on my Deer

    Last night I hit a buck high right behind the shoulder. I found good blood several hundred yards away and then not much after that. Looked for hours and eventually packed it in. First thing this morning I went back in to the last blood with my dog on leash. He picked up the trail again and...

    Tikka T3 7mm PRC

    Yeah ear pro is a must. I am very happy with the hnt26. Not sure if you've seen Exo Mark's comparison between the XLR and the Hnt26 but it's quite good. Personally the grip feels very good in my hand, I like the folding mechanism and it was very comfortable to shoot. Honestly I like the...

    Show me your MDT HNT26 Builds - 7 PRC?

    This is my 7PRC Tikka t3x stainless in a Hnt26 with folder/arca that I just finished. 22" proof barrel Mag works fine and feeds perfectly. Very excited for the fall with this thing.

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    Just got back from sighting in my new rig. 7PRC built on a Tikka t3x stainless with a 22" proof barrel and an MDT hnt26 folding chassis. Shoots very well with factory 175 ELDx, the chassis is awesome. I plan to upgrade the optic to something lighter when budget allows but I'm looking forward to...

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    I I managed to find a Proof 22" 7mm blank from a guy who ended up not doing a build. Decent price for Canada too, found a gunsmith not too far from me who will chamber it on a Tikka actions for me once it gets here. So 7prc it is! Ordered a few boxes of ELD-X already to make sure I can feed it...

    Tikka T3 7mm PRC

    I have a good deal lined up for an IOTA EKO stock but it's inletted for CTR bottom metal. Will this not work with a t3x 7mm prc? From what I can find the CTR is short action only

    Tikka T3 7mm PRC

    Thanks. Is the bolt stop switch simple? So buying a stock with a long action inlet would be necessary as well.

    Tikka T3 7mm PRC

    I'm new to the Tikka world so excuse me if this is a silly question. I'm hearing that tikka uses only one action length? So can I do a barrel swap on my 6.5 prc to 7 prc? Doesn't the 6.5 use a magnum bolt face?

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    Yeah I found one Fierce Carbon Rogue in 7 prc in Canada for a decent price. Super tempting but all the negative fierce talk on this site has me scared.

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    Piggy back I'm really torn between 6.5 prc and 7mm PRC for a "do it all" rifle for Elk, Mule deer, Black bears and Moose. It's difficult to sift through all the info online because everyone has their bias. Of course, bullet choice and shot placement are always important. I've read through a lot...
