Best factory 6.5PRC bolt gun for dedicated suppressor rig

[Cmillz516]

What is everybody’s suggestion for the best factory 6.5 prc bolt action that will be used as a dedicated suppressed hunting rig? Not looking to spend custom gun prices or building my own. Budget around $2000 for bare rifle. I’ve heard mixed feelings about the Berger line.

I have a Bergara b14 crest. Very accurate and build quality is excellent. 20” 6.5 prc.

Would expect your going to get a lot here that say Tikka,
That is what I would also suggest as after all the reading I have done here that is the conclusion I have came up with as well.

Browning X-bolt SR model.

I would also look at a Seekins, a lot of gun for the money

I have that rifle in 6.5 PRC and I like it a lot. A little heavy but that makes it more comfortable to shoot.

Take a peek at the Seekins havak rifles. You can order the new PH3 with all the features or buy an old model PH2 for a couple hundred less. Pick what features mean the most you because regardless rifle will shoot great.

Tikka ……

I got a tikka 6.5prc, peak 44 stock and proof barrel for around that. Bought most of it from here on classifieds!

I got a tikka 6.5prc for $650, cut it to 18" and threaded for another $200. Shoots lights out. Might change the stock later but no real need for it.

The Sauer 100 would (is) be my choice.
The Sauer is nicer to shoot than a tikka wit cartridges with a bit of recoil due to better stock design and has a better trigger and magazine.

ant go wrong with Karl kampfeld out of idaho

 

[Weldor]

I used my Fierce CT carbon roque 20" suppressed since day one . 5 lb 6 oz naked, decked out SWFA 3x9 and a Harvester can around 7 lbs 8oz. or so. Shoots great and puts critters in the freezer.

Ray's in Dallas. They've done several for me.

 

[rabbithuntr]

Long Rifles Inc. is another good choice for threading. I like my tikka but I would mind trying a sauer.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Tikka.

There's even a sale on them right now. https://www.eurooptic.com/tikka-t3x-rifle-blowout

With an SWFA scope and a custom stock, you could get the whole package for under $2000.
