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.
Ok give me a clue, what is it?Quote:

Sorry Charlie horse!Quote:

A mate has a bergara down south shooting 230 atips and goes very well.Quote:

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.
Hardy hybrid or project x…
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.Quote:

What about just rebarrelling one of your Tikkas Andy? Prob cost the same as a new shooter plus it'll be on a platform you already like.
300PRC too big for a T3Quote:

You can criticise their recoil lug arrangements all you want, they are still shooting as well or better than most remington like set up.
As a side note blaser r8 recoil set up is pretty much the same as a tikka.
Andy, gun city still have some 300 prc Lothar walther barrels prefit for tikka / Sako in 300 prc. If you can find a second hand Sako 85 magnum you will be good to go.i think they were a $1000 which is pretty good considering the price of a rebarrel nowdays.
I had a play witha couple of fierce in 300 prc, but were not shooting great in those particular configuration.
