[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2016994, member: 68758"] Well, what are you trying to accomplish? The .300 PRC is designed around a specific application- heavy VLD's, for ELR shooting without eating into case capacity. If you take the .300 Win Mag (which was designed to work in a standard long action)- and use the magnum length action- you eliminate the "handicap"- you can seat em out as long as you like. I don't see an advantage for the PRC over the Win Mag in hunting applications, and you can go into any place, anywhere that sells ammo and find .300 Win Mag. Not so for the PRC. It's unwise to buy a new factory action and then have it trued. You'll spend basically the same dollars as you would on a precision clone- and if you ever sell the rifle you'll get a lot more for it than you would for a factory action that has been re-worked. If you're looking at the PRC for ELR target, it's foolish to build off anything other than a precision action IMO. [/QUOTE]
