[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 1770937, member: 40966"] I am trying to put the pieces together right now to build a 6.5 PRC. I think you need at least a 3" magazine box to make it viable. Long actions aren't the best for WSM type cases. I think the "medium" actions are the way to go. Still haven't decided myself. I have a trued "Blueprinted" 700 action; lugs recut, threads re-cut, bolt bushed, bolt body bushed but it still have 6-48 scope base threads, the stupid ground off rear bridge that NEVER fits the bases properly and it doesn't lock up as tight as my customs. I don't think it shoots quite as good either. IF you do all the things needed to make a 700 like a custom action it will cost MORE than the standard clone actions. I just don't know which one will work best with the PRC case. [/QUOTE]
