[QUOTE="tahoe1305, post: 2231401, member: 112408"] I believe the answer to your question is no. Not from experience but from what I’ve read. I built a 7wsm off my savage short action. OAL is 2.975”. From what I’ve read for PRC you want to be closer to 3.1”. I’m sure it will Shoot fine but be limiting potential. Folks said same about 7wsm but I am happy with it and exceeded my velocity goals for the build. That said, the savage action IMO is bulky, isn’t as smooth, and trigger isn’t as good. I also used a XLR magnesium for the savage. For savage that is the way to go. Tikka opens up some other doors. Let me put it this way. With my above decision my gun shoots amazing (1/3MOA) and faster than I hoped. But based on the fact I invested in a $800 barrel, $800 stock, and probably $200 else, I wish I would have paid the $500 more and just got a tikka action because I like them more. Like you I had a 308 Savage to build from. [/QUOTE]
