Last year, I shot my first PRS style match and had a blast. Since I plan on shooting more matches this year, I’m looking at upgrading my rifle in the near future. I’m currently running a pair of Ruger American Predators in 6 Creed and 6.5 Creed that both shoot really well. The problem I run into is they are still pretty light with the Magpul stock and the barrel heats up really fast.
I’d like to get something with a heavier barrel and a more rigid stock or chassis. I’d also prefer to stick with the 6 or 6.5 Creedmoor since I’m already set for reloading those and I’m leaning towards the 6. I’ve been looking at the factory rifles below. I’d say the budget will probably be in the $800-$1200 range, but that may be flexible if it’s worth saving longer for a better option. If anyone has any input on these or others I didn’t list, I’ll appreciate any info I can get. Thanks in advance!
Ruger Precision
Bergara HMR
Bergara BMP
Savage BA Stealth
Bergara HMR Pro or LRP (have to save more, but get action and trigger upgrade)
