[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1611187, member: 54178"] I have a 22" barrel 6.5 CM Browning X-Bolt Pro. The X-Bolt Pro [I]Long Range[/I] version comes with a 26" barrel. NOW... if'n I wuz to do it again I'd get the Pro Long Range in 6.5 PRC, have the barrel cut to 24" and get it re-threaded for the thread cap and radial muzzle brake and to make it compatible with a can. The 6.5 PRC was not available when I bought my rifle. That Browning X-Bolt Pro series is Browning's TOP of the line rifle. It has factory barrel lapping among many other custom features like a stainless barreled action, fluted barrel, bolt and bolt handle, carbon fiber stock and burnt bronze Cerakote on all metal surfaces and the stock. It is still, with all that, about $900. less than the very comparable SAKO Carbonlite rifle and, IMHO, has a slightly better trigger. That's saying a lot B/C SAKO is known for its very good triggers.
