    Sounds pretty sweet but I need a bit more grunt but don't want an extreme barrel burner like a 26 or 27.

    I have been tinkering with the idea of a 6.5 PRC. 3100ish with that 135 berger would be a good all rounder in a light guide rifle I reckon.

    Browning is due to bring the xbolt out in 6.5prc, must say it has piqued my interest for a plug and play open country gun

    I thought it was out but not here in NZ yet.
    Might be a sensible option for me if they show up here.

    If i like the cal I might rebarrel my Ackley to one when/if it gets tired.

    Yeah it's on order here but still a couple of months away from what I've heard. If Cindy ever pays me for my ar I'll probably pick one up

    Good idea. I am in the same boat.
    Just not sure if the $2.95 I get for my naughty guns will buy a Browning xbolt

    Those 135gn classics are vicious killers!

    Most of them I think Nick. They have some models in PRC here already, but in the more precision shooting type models as opposed to the hunting line like the 100.

    Talk to Ian at Hardy's, he has been ruling it with the 6.5 PRC. Super accurate!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
