[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2772744, member: 115658"] I have two, 6.5-06's, one a Ruger M77, MKII the other a 66-year-old FN Mauser. McGowen barrels (8 twist), Timney triggers, Richards' & other stock (olde gun smith design), inletted, bedded & finished by me (laminate plywood stock & nice Euro walnut stock). Cost under $1K each not including scopes, rings, & bases. Should 6.5 PRC brass be easily available at less than $1.00 per, I might re-barrel an olde .300 WM that has a tired barrel -same stock, trigger, & other stuff. Marginal ballistic gains with 6.5 PRC over 6.5-06 but rifle has a .532 bolt face. I have about 400 pieces of 6.5-06 brass that cost about $200 - lots of shots. [/QUOTE]
