[QUOTE="Ga6570, post: 2645020, member: 108782"] i have both x bolts same model - one is a 6.5 creedmoor - Hells Canyon Long Range bought this first, liked it a ton and when the 6.5 PRC rifle/cartridge came out i got the same model in the PRC. both have 26” barrel. when i bought them i believe i paid around 900 for each. 2 years apart. the tikkas also shoot great and cost less. they were 699 for a while, the last two I bought were 749 but i think i last saw them advertised for 799. I've got a 5-25x50 burris signature scope on my PRC - great scope. very happy with the setup. i have a couple pictures of some tikka T3 lite and T3x superlight groups in 6.5 creedmoor, i’ll find one and add here. i actually had a tikka T3 lite in 270 WSM, wasnt a big fan of the cartridge and bought it intending to make it a donor rifle to build a PRC, i liked the Browning so much i just bought another browning in it. but still didnt like the WSM, i bought a new Tikka take off barrel in 6.5 creedmoor on ebay, (seller is a LRH member in idaho) i removed the WSM barrel and threaded on the one i bought on ebay. last two years it has taken several deer. just this morning my 12 year old used it to take a real nice 3x3 muley at 455 yards. if you dont expect to hunt anything larger than deer out to 300 yards the PRC will do it no problem, but the 6.5 creedmoor will do it just as well… we have killed a lot of game (deer, elk, coyotes, badgers) over the last 9 years with the creedmoor… in the creedmoors we use the 127gr Barnes LRX. now that my older boys are hunting having 3 creedmoors (2 tikka and one browning) sure makes it easy when one of us need ammo, since we all are using the same we just share a round if needed. just this morning when my son was shooting his deer, i droped the magazine from my rifle to hand to him in case he ended up needing it.(he missed on shot #1) but since the deer acted un bothered i told him to take a couple deep breathes and try again when he was ready, 2nd shot dropped him. photo attached in this reply is: todays buck and the PRC group from a month ago. the photo in the prior reply was the tikka in 6.5cm group image. probably my best 6.5prc 3 shot group yet… [/QUOTE]
