I view the 6.5 PRC as a sort of "modernized 270." I like SA cartridges, and it strikes me as a very good one. When I was contemplating a PRC my thought was to build one on a Winchester M70 or Kimber 8400 MT WSM action. But, I've lost my interest in reinventing the wheel with another cartridge so abandoned the idea. Were I a younger guy I'd think long and hard about a PRC - or, just get a 270
Happy 4th!
Speaking for myself it it sounds like we are on a similar page.
Getting older, bunch of guns sitting around.
At this point the only practical $ issue is being tight.
It's gotten hard to buy guns. Everything that catches the eye gets shot
down by,
"What does it bring to the table that I don't have"
Or,
"A new round is gonna cost $200 + to load, and that's if I have powder and bullets on hand."
Lotta stuff catches the eye,
Not much rises to the level of getting the wallet out.
Unless it's a bargain. Will buy darn near anything if it's a great deal
