7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

Yeah they havnt updated anything in months so I just figured they’re going away from selling ammo.

They are still going to sell ammo, but they are moving away from it as their main focus. That's at least the gist of what I picked up from one of their latest podcasts.

Original poster here. Just thought I’d give my final update on my build which took a turn into a 6.8 Western. I’ll be creating a separate thread on this so if you’d like more info take a look on other dedicated thread.

6.8 Western
Defiance Classic Short Action
20” Benchmark barrel
HNT26 Foldable Chassis w/ arca
Nightforce Ultralight Medium Rings+Bubble adapter
Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x scope
Renrden R2c 5/8x24 break adapter
Thunderbeast Ultra 7 suppressor
3 Round AICs metal magazine
Mtn Gear Mountain Bipod

With everything included above, loaded, and ready to hunt, my weight comes out to 8lbs 10oz as far as I can tell from my kitchen scale.
