[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2844075, member: 109378"] A couple of thoughts. I have a 6.5 PRC in Browning X-Bolt white gold medallion topped with a Leo VX6 HD 3-18 X 50 & custom turrets, tax title and license about 4K. I put an M-Carbo sear trigger spring in it because the trigger sucked (as I knew it would) and the after-market triggers were not made for the Browning yet. The modified trigger is great. Fast forward two weeks later and Timney comes out with after market triggers for browning rifles (dang it), I suggest going that route. I don't think you need the muzzle brake as the six five just doesn't kick that much, but the brake is LOUD. Also, you probably don't need the 26 BBL unless you just want a big one. My off the shelf X-Bolt rifle using factory ammo shoots the 142 gr Nosler ABLR into about a 7mm five shot bug hole as small as my spendy custom 6.8 Western does...which is LOUD and does kick:-)!
