Which Option for New Rifle?

[Frozenlead]

I’ve put some rounds through my brothers 6.5prc HMR 24” with a vortex strike eagle on it and 147eldms. Shoots well, no ejection issues over 60rounds anyways. Personally I’m not a fan of the 90deg bolts though and I don’t think it is as smooth as my tikka if your really paying attention. It is a heavy rig however and aics short action mags are limited if you want to load long and heavy.

I’ve also had some time around a tikka 6.5ctr 24” in a mdt xrs chassis with an apex hunter scope and 147eldms. Shoots well, no ejection issues, runs aics mags so same issues as the hmr for heavies. I’d say I prefer the hmr stock over the mdt.

I’ll echo what’s been said a bunch. Given what was mentioned for shooting ranges, I would definitely consider a smaller caliber. 6.5cm is a great option, noticeably less recoil and will send 147’s way farther than you plan on shooting.

The Roughtech stock is exactly the same as the standard stock, with a cheap textured finish on it. It’s not “sweet”. It’s just a pig with lipstick.

Buy the standard stainless T3X Lite in 308.

Definitely not "sweet" lol. Not at all, unless the basic t3x stocks are sweet.
