I have a new barrel that is either going on my T3X 270 or 6.5 PRC.
Neither one is a primary hunting gun for me on a regular basis. My regular line up includes.
223 - trainer and some hunting
6 creed - Main hunting gun
6.5 creed, more just general shooting, it shoots well and I have a pile of ammo, it will become a 22 creed once its shot out
Anyway my current 223 is set up in a regular rokstock with a longer barrel and heavy scope, have a 16 inch barrel and rokstok lite and light weight scope all set to go on either the 270 or the 6.5 prc and have an extra 223 bolt handy so either one will work fine. The prc is blued and 24 inch and the 270 is stainless superlight 22 inch if that matters.
At first the obvious choice to keep was the 6.5 prc as it adds some meaningful range on top of the 6 creed, but its also range I cant realistically shoot right now. I am starting to lean toward keeping the 270 to have 1 classic caliber rifle in the stable still. I do have a m70 270 but its not a shooter anyway. I have similar ammo supply for both so thats not really a consideration.
Anyway what are thoughts on which one to keep and which to swap out.
