[QUOTE="GPR23, post: 1491646, member: 104192"] I'll throw my $.02 in on this, as i own both. The 6.5 prc has more recoil compared to a light weight 6.5cm hunting rifle, however it isn't bad. Compared to a 7mm rem mag the 6.5prc is a lot less recoil. Shooting a 7mm 180gr loads with a heavy stock and bull barrel it is still difficult for me to spot hits when shooting prone. I don't have that issue with a 6.5prc with a lighter gun setup. The 6.5cm is even less recoil and is something you can shoot all day long with no worries. it is a nice cartridge. Honestly I like both for different uses. The 6.5cm i find i shoot more for target shooting, as it recoils less and has cheaper ammo. The 6.5 PRC i like better for hunting as it simply hits harder, shoots flatter with less wind drift. Advice on your Remington, maybe have someone else shoot it and see if it groups. I would also recommend using some different ammo to see what it likes best. I would also highly recommend a different trigger, or adjust yours lighter. This really helps me shoot better. I love the new Trigger Tech triggers, as they are great, easy to adjust, and are cheaper then other triggers. Also what do you consider grouping bad? how big are your groups? [/QUOTE]
