    Which factory 300 prc to buy

    Ok, I am looking at setting up a factory 300 prc.
    Two that i know about that tick the boxes are the rpr and the begara.
    They both shoot well.
    Who out there has experience with any other brands worthy of consideration.
    Any thing I will be doing will be suppressed.
    It will be wearing an Nx8 4x32.
    If sako or tikka were doing one that would be my pick but alas not yet.
    Cheers Andy

    No complaints about mine, shoots lights out. Definitely upgrade the trigger.

    Set up my son n laws Browning Hells Canyon long range 300wm,26in barrel.It shot very well using Hornady 180gr SSTs.Had a suppressor and cheap Chinesses scope on it.I only used it at the range,shot a 1 inch group on bull at 400yds.Then he decided to sell it,i could've brought it but I didn't need it.Very light to carry and nice to shoot.

    Long story short, I'm not enamored with the browning hells canyon .
    Triggers are very average and accuracy was wanting.
    Only my experience mind you

    The "purse" is the ammo holder I have mounted on the side, the bergara in 300prc only holds 2 rounds in the mag, I felt having a couple more in an easy to access position when laying prone wasn't a bad idea,

    A mate has a bergara down south shooting 230 atips and goes very well.
    I have set up a couple of rpr and they shoot way better than they should.
    They are heavy mothers which does make them nice to shoot.
    The folding stock does mitigate some of the weight as easier to carry on the bike.
    Just wondering what other rifles in this chamberings others have owned and shot.
    As a cartridge design I really like it.
    Also shot the Hardy project x which goes well but a lot of extra hooter that you can pump into optics.

    Springfield Waypoint 2020 now come in 300 prc and can get in NZ, have had a play in 6.5 creedmoor and very impressed with them. Not the cheapest but I'm currently saving for one as my next rifle.

    I really liked the look of the Springfield when I was in the market for a new rifle. It became the back up choice if I couldn't get the rifle I wanted.
    Unsophisticated... AF!
