Well if your calling wolves and grizz comes running at you; I don’t think it matters anymore what the intended game was. I would choose life and a jury over mauled on and dead by a bear 😂. To each their own though.
I will throw in my quick 2 cents in on this. I bought all my parts and two barrels for a switch rifle I wanted to build. I then left those parts with the previous owner and expected the rifle would be put together and sent my way in the next 6 months or so. At the 9 month mark I reached out and...
Curious what magazine you are using and bottom metal.
I am wondering if I could build a 6.5 or 6PRC and run it as a 7PRC as well if I did it in a long action with a simple barrel swap
If I was to buy an off the shelf more budget friendly gun I would buy a Savage in whichever 110 config you like. I like the ultralites and varmint variations.
I have 3, 2 carbons and 1 steel. None have over 100 rounds yet but all shoot 3/4 Moa so far or better. I haven’t done load dev on any yet just plugged a book load and went .02 off the lands to see how they would do. So far so good, all are slow but we will see after 100 rounds.

There are many options available based on how you want to do it.
I use actions with guaranteed headspace. Order the barrels I want with specd out the way I want. Then I have a barrel vise here at my house and an action wrench. Torque the barrel down I want to use and off I go.
Current setups...
I just brush a little powdered graphite into the neck with a brush, the ones people use to clean their necks. Cold weld seems to happen more often if you SS tumble your brass is I stopped doing that
