I am looking at getting a 6.5 prc and was in between a bergara sierra wilderness (20 inch) or a savage 110 ultralite/tikka t3x superlite (24 inch). Which one should I get?

Given the ease with which rifle barrels can be cut down to any length you desire (as long as you stay above 16", unless you want to make it an SBR), framing this as a choice between 20" and 24" based on models is not really necessary.I am looking at getting a 6.5 prc and was in between a bergara sierra wilderness (20 inch) or a savage 110 ultralite/tikka t3x superlite (24 inch).

If you are going to be shooting unsuppressed, then I recommend getting a longer barrel. I don't like shooting short barreled rifles unsuppressed. If suppressed, then cut to 20" and put an OG on it (+4"). And now you have a very pleasant hunting rifle.
Correct. 20” 6.5 PRC and 18” 223What length are those? Looks like 18 and 20?
Well done, two very practical setupsLooks a little like this View attachment 926934
The 6.5 prc should still have an advantage over the cm of a similar barrel length? The gap might be closer, but there still should be an advantage to more powder.the issue with short barrel 6.5PRC is once you get down to 20 and more so in 18 you literally just have a 6.5creedmore. If thats fine with you then no issue but if you got a PRC for the advantages of it over the creed then you need a longer barrel.
yes. It is faster than CM at similar lengths. My 20” is around 2740 averageThe 6.5 prc should still have an advantage over the cm of a similar barrel length? The gap might be closer, but there still should be an advantage to more powder.
