Any regret on PRC vs CM? How’s the shootability out of an 8lb 10oz rifle? I’m over 11lb all up (with a can and bipod) on a 7rm looking to shed weight and ft lbs of recoil, just undecided on a PRC or CM

Cascade,
It’s a pleasure to shoot at that weight. I am coming from a suppressed T3X 30-06 that weighed over a pound less. I will try and drop a few ounces in this rifle with a titanium suppressor in the future. I’m glad I didn’t choose the 7PRC that I was originally contemplating, but the 6.5CM wasn’t really on my radar. I wanted a little more velocity in case I choose, or am forced to shoot monos. I am getting some crazy fast velocities out of factory ELDX. If I were to do it all over again, I would have probably gone a few inches shorter in the barrel.

I will also build a .223 trainer in the future for cheap practice time.

To help your decision, I would play with an online recoil calculator to compare your rifle now with potential new rifles. It helped me to calculate the reduced recoil for each potential build as a percentage reduction from my old rifle.

It was a back room deal that I copied from someone else.

It looks good. I curious because the limited color options they have make me want to just get the clear carbon fiber and paint my own.
