Ok here it is..... I have been out of the gun world for a min. As in last time I bought one the 700 was still in production.... And no IM not that old, well yet! My hunting style is mainly inside 300 yards and I have lived there for a long time. 10 years ago I tried to build a long range rig to play with and take on open country mule deer hunts and It was an epic fail. It turned into a custom money pit to say the least. It sits in the back of my safe and has to many issues to deal with. Hence why I dont want to have another one built. Later on that.
On with the story I am looking to try again. I missed an opportunity at a nice muley this last year because I wasn't confident at 585 yards and watched him slink into the bottom of draw never to be found again. I tried for hours behind glass that day to find him again with no end. I know this isn't long range to most but it was out of my league that day with the rifle I had.
So on to the new rifle. Must be a 7prc.... IM a 7 fan and have, well, all of them, 7mm RM, 7-08, 280 and AI, 7wsm, and 7BR, and I want a PRC! And dont try and convince me to retool one of them. We all know how this works. Its a sickness! Looking to play out to 1k but hunt to 700.
So here is the criteria. I have $3000 to $3500 to spend on rifle. Must be all Stainless or Aluminum/stainless combo preferably. Carbon Fiber barrel is a plus. I dont want to build anything. I want it off the shelf and obtainable with good support if there is issues. I have been looking strongly at Seekins Havok M3 and the Horizons Vandel Carbon. I have never owned anything from Browning but have looked at some of their stuff like the PRO 2 Mcmilllian but its a little on the high side and has a cromoly action. The mountain PRO also looks nice and checks some boxes. I plan on going suppressed now that that's easy. Smoth lines and actions are a plus. I like to cuddle with my actions!
I really like odd ball stuff that no one else has, so semi customs stuff like Seekins and Horizon really sounds nice. What else should I look at?
Thanks for helping me along the path of my Divorce. One of my Daughters husbands is going to end up with some nice rifles when I die in a long time.... lets add another one.
