300 prc rifle recommendation

[Damartin95]

Looking for recommendations for a 300 prc hunting rifle. Don't want ultralight but also don't want a 10lb gun before scope. Budget is around 2k.

The only thing I don't like about these is the 26" barrel. They make the Element with a 22" barrel, but it is $700 over your price range.

That's what I've been eyeballing just hate the 26 inch barrel. May be worth the extra $

You can cut and thread a fluted barrel. @Formidilosus does it with Tikkas

I personally wouldn’t own a 300 PRC unless it had a 26” barrel.

I have a Bergara 300 PRC that shoots just under an inch. Will be using it for moose next season.

Why? I won't put a suppressor on a 26" barrel and everything I own gets a suppressor on it.

Which model?

My friend has a fierce rogue ct. He's a big fan.

Tagged out on our sheep at 585yds and then dropped a 360 class 7x7 bull elk at about 10 yard.

He had a 300wsm in a tikka lite. Says the fierce is mild to shoot in comparison.

I grabbed Christensen MPR 300 PRC because the stock folds and with my rails (Spartan and tripod mount), and scope - it weighs 10.5 lbs. before mag/ammo load.

I wanted folding stock because I hated to tweak my back ducking under brush or tree limbs. And the folding stock now had lowered the height profile enough that I’m able to achieve that.

Seekins PH2. With scope and a brake I’m sitting right at 10lbs

Love my new custom. 10.2lbs with scope.

Late to this conversation but maybe it will be useful. I have a Christensen Ridgeline in 300 PRC that will shoot 212 grain elder factory loads a .75" all day and better if I do my part all day long. It has been a great gun the last three seasons. The only complaint that I have is the forearm of the stock is narrow which makes controlling rotation a challenge at times when shooting prone which can be a pain in the heat of the moment. I would definitely do it again. Side note the 212 eldx has performed very well on 2 bulls and a cow along with several deer. One other bonus is that my kids are able to shoot it due to the muzzle break.

I have a Fierce CT Edge. 24" barrel. 212 ELDX .5 @ 200yds.

The 300 needs a muzzle brake or weight added to it. You're not going to stay on target without one or the other
