Tikka 7mm prc advice

[Ten_Ring15]

Which model does everyone recommend for a Tikka 7mm PRC? T3x lite or Roughtech? In all honesty, my only concerns either these rifles (the T3x lite anyway) is how light they are. I’d prefer my finished weight to be in the 9 lb + range. I might end up with a suppressor at some point but my ears just can’t handle a break. I’ve tried wearing hearing protection when I’m hunting with a break and it drives me nuts. I’m open to any sort of recommendation. T3x lite with an aftermarket stock perhaps?

7PRC in a light weight rifle is going to be a handful without a suppressor or brake. I've owned 2 from different manufacturers, both wore brakes or a suppressor. I don't know the specs of the rifles that you have listed, but I assume the Roughtech is a little heavier. I would lean that direction, and still plan to add a suppressor in the future.

If you intend to swap the barrel for a pre fit, and If you were to buy a Roughtec in 7 PRC: I would buy the takeoff barrel from you for $300.
