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

My 6.5 PRC rifle purchase fell through, so thought I'd ask those with experience. Assuming the price is practically the same, or in the ballpark.....considering the Tikka, Sauer Atacama, or Sako S20, which one are you buying? Not the least bit interested in Christensen anything. I have brass, powders, and dies already.

I’d be on the Tikka myself of those you listed. Haven’t had a stinker yet.

I'd buy the "new unfired" Tikka that nathaniel has in the classifieds for $950.. Handled a new one in person the other day at the LGS and they are damn nice. Those stocks feel really good in the hands and I like the spiral fluting on the bolt. You know it's going to be a great shooter. The price locally is $1,079.00, so nathaniel has his priced very well. His also comes with a rail. Hard to beat that deal!

Thanks bsa, much appreciated. Handled/owned numerous Tikkas and like beretz, never got a dud. Do you know if that rifle is threaded?

No problem. I believe it is a Roughtech model. Those are threaded 5/8x24. The one I was looking at was machined so well that it just looked like a brake on the end of the barrel. Here is the link to nathaniels rifle. I'd ask him to verify:

Tikka 6.5 PRC for sale in classifieds

My daughter has the camo version of the Tikka 6.5 PRC mentioned in the classifieds.

I’m looking to get my own, so the Tikka would be my choice

Yes they’re threaded. Come with a brake and a thread protector if you don’t want to use the brake.

Thanks guys. With regards to that Tikka, anyone know what the max OAL of mag box is. Guess seller could verify that while he's at it.....

WTH????? I don't have SKane money!

I'd hold out for this one.

I’d bet it’s at least long enough to take SAAMI stuff that’s over 2.9”. Good chance it’s a good fit for the PRC.

Id be interested myself. Never measured one for a PRC yet.

Good looking rifle right there.

I just bought a CVA Cascade. Looks like a Bergara entry model. Looks/feels great and trigger adjusted right down to 2#. Haven't shot it yet, came with 3 boxes of 143 ELDX, all from a guy who found something else almost immediately! I like it so far.

I can measure when I get home. I do know factory 147gr ELDM loads fit with a little room left over

I have been leaning toward the Sauer 100 Classic XT.

Anybody have an idea of the real word weights of the Sauer verses the Tikka?

LMAO......!!!!!

I’d buy a browning xbolt

No Cooper?
