John,
I didn’t read all the posts, so this might be a duplicate of others suggestions.
Being that I have owned a slug of 6.5 PRC rifles, from APR custom builds, to a cheap Franchi Elite.
If you have the time to wait for a custom (I’m not gonna say the money, for obvious reasons 🙄) I’d go with another APR build….If you wanted a dedicated rifle, that will spend more time afield than in a gun safe. A custom is nice.
If the PRC will just be another rifle in your battery rotation, I’d jump all over a Tikka T3x Lite in a camo pattern of your liking. Or the basic Tikka Roughneck rifle that has a solid stock color and comes without a muzzle brake, iirc.
The Tikka will probably shoot as good as a custom.

PS
My current favorite hunting rifle is a Seekins Element in 6.5 PRC. It’s one heck of a rifle that will see a lot of blood this season.
