Jeff..... call Defiance and ask them if anyone is using the GA hunter for the 6.5 PRC or 6.5 Saum!

Thx - Bob Bob, I’m pretty sure the scope bases are integral to the action on that Defiance action. They make a real slick “lightweight” hunting action with integral bases. “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

They are 8 months out on actions.... Last edited by 300MAG; 08/23/18.

They may have a lower BC than other bullets, but they shoot very well, and I have a lot of faith in them. Last edited by scenarshooter; 03/04/19. Luck....is the residue of design...
