The beginning of another “epic” live hunt thread, as history has taught us.

Best of luck Doc.

My prc decision is a little involved! When it all started I wanted a lightweight rifle with a 24” barrel that would do most everything and be able to shoot 500-600 yards. I wanted a gun that would fit in my bowcase for travel and I wanted a carbon fiber barrel. I travel a fair amount to hunt and usually bowhunt only. Some hunts are so expensive I have carried rifle backup!(ex stone sheep) so that’s how it started.

Initially I had the rifle built as a 6.5-284 on a short action with extended magazine. It would cycle factory ammo fine but I had some ammo loaded for me. It wouldn’t cycle and drove me nuts. I started talking to Robert about what I wanted and I didn’t want to be like everyone else with a 6.5 creedmoor. I picked the prc because it had a bit more performance and everyone I talked to had been shooting lights out with the Hornsby ammo. So, that’s what I picked! I have only shot mine with the brake on but I have a thread protector as well. I love being on target after the shot and this gun does it. It’s been the best gun decision I have made and it’s just plain fun to shoot!!!!

i'm waiting for Ruger to put one on the market in the American line. I love the 6.5 creedmoor but the PRC puts it over the top with a manageable recoil.

good luck!
