Im not brand new. Old, in fact. But I like shiny and new. And anything better than the status quo.
If I was to start again, and replace everything I have ever shot stuff with, I would get one of these 6.5 prc. And keep my .223. They would be my 2 guns.

We had a big rainstorm go through the night before, I walked in and camped, got up at 4am and walked along a bush ridge to be coming into the open at 5.50 am. The big group of deer obviously had not seen action in a while but they were all back in the bush by 7am even though it was cold and overcast. I carried a swanny in, so that I was very quiet in the wet scrub.
Stevedog Is there sign down in the scrubby faces and the grass in the scrub margin ? If there is sign, just get there at the right time. Take a sleeping bag.

Man I don’t want one or need one but I kinda want one ......

You definitely need 1...

Has anyone got experience comparing felt recoil between a 284 shooting 162s and a 6.5PRC with 140 - 147s?

Virtually identical powder charge with 85% projectile weight so going to be lighter recoiling than the 284 for sure. My 284 is plenty comfortable to shoot but does hop around a bit, even with a good bipod load

Stagstalker the PRC I sold Nick was very pleasant to shoot . It was a lot lighter recoiling than my 30/284 with 155 amax's . I was using 143 eld's factory .

It's a Tier One mate, with carbon fibre legs. I quite like it, solid and stable without being overly heavy. Have leg extensions for it too and the claw feet which are bloody good.
