[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2217941, member: 87243"] I believe this is correct, I saw a guy do a 6.5 Sherman mag as well, was shooting the 156 eol stupid fast. If you don't mind custom dies, the 27 Sherman Mag would be great, top quality brass designed for the 300 PRCis a big bonus. Otherwise the 27 nosler is great as well and would get you up there. Those are pretty much the only two cartridges I would consider. The anTI is the action I went with on my wife's rifle, and while I haven't shot it yet (hopefully back from the smith soon!!), I really like it, and can't see any reason why it wouldn't work great, and the price is appealing too compared to some different titanium options. For the brake, the PK is great, as is the MBM Beast brakes or the Terminator brakes. No bad choice in there. For a hunting rifle, especially trying to count the ounces, an aluminum hinged floorplate is the only way I would go. For a mid weight, a dbm is fine, but you add a few oz's. And on a more personal note, on a hunting specific rifle, I like the looks of a BDL type set up, they look clean to me. I almost went with that Leupold on my wife's rifle, and wouldn't have been upset if I had got it, but ended up picking up a Burris XTR-III 3.3-18x50 for a good used price, it's way more scope then what I paid, plus it is made in America, one of my wife's requirements for her rifle build. The Vortex AMG and the Nightforce NX8 was another option, though I believe the NX8 is made in Japan. Your build will be somewhere in the mid, maybe low 8 lb range just guessing looking at the components, depending on your optic choice mainly. My wife's rifle is the same anti, a krieger medium palma cut at 20", Hawkins rings, Jewel trigger and a Manners EH-1 stock, and will come in at the mid 9 lb range with the Burris scope. [/QUOTE]
