[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3098056, member: 11459"] You can do that but why not just have a great target rifle and a great hunting rifle? If I was doing that 300 PRC build I’d have Wade cut me a 20-24” (depending on if you’re going to run a can or not) #3B with deep spiral flutes and drop it in a Manners PH and call it a day. You can still use it for having some ELR fun too if you want to stretch out further than the 6.5CM is capable of. The 6.5 with the right bullet is capable of shooting to a mile with the right bullets too. At ELR distances the biggest hurdle is just spotting hits and misses and running a 6.5PRC for that really isn’t getting you a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. You’re still trying to spot 6.5’s at very far distances. If anything I’d have that 6.5 blank spun up for your 737 and have a lighter configuration for it. You could get a Manners PH for it as well and have two nearly identical rifles. [/QUOTE]
