Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which 6.5 PRC are you buying?

Being born in 1966 myself I always had a love of the 6.5 Rem Mag as a kid -- By the time I was old enough to start hunting it was on it's way out so I opted for a 264 Win Magnum. Loved that rifle but "Rifle Looney-ism" took over and have chased all over for different cartridges over the years -- and have come to love the old 270 WCF as just a classic great rifle for what I want to do.

But right now I feel the call of 6.5 PRC ... being in essence of short action 270 with sleeker bullets at the same weights .. and it is ALSO in essence the 6.5 Rem Mag in a better package (Twist, bullets, etc).

I am in the process of buying a Mauser M18 in 6.5 PRC and then going to see about finding the perfect lightweight 6.5 PRC. The APR rifle linked to here is very tempting as is the Seekins Element. The Mauser package seems to be a good place to start.
