    I have thought it should be closer to 6lb than 7lb. The action must weigh a bit?

    The action is actually very light. Lighter than a tikka one I believe.

    Mine weighs 4.4 kg or 9lb 7oz with a 22” fluted steel barrel #4 contour with the 4-32 NX8 and covert suppressor.

    The 18” 223 will weigh a bit less.

    What is the length of the mags that you are using for the 300prc? 3.715 or 3.850"
    Are they the same for the 6.5 prc or are they short action mags?

    they are using the same mag (not a details guy) - i went long action to ensure i could do both. due to it being light a little bit more length was not a deal breaker.
