[QUOTE="Kimber7man, post: 1678196, member: 11938"] Good call! I had my gunsmith build me a 6.5 PRC on the 8400. Great thing about the Montana WSM is it has a 3.05” mag box which is plenty long for the PRC/WSM/SAUM and long heavy bullets. Picked up a well used 300 WSM Montana, got a Rock Creek 5R cut rifled #2 contour 8 twist barrel, and had him spin it up and also skim bed and bed the recoil lug. Kimber $699 used Rock Creek barrel $300 off classifieds Gunsmith $300 Total $1300. Looks like this and shoots factory 147’s like this (rounds 4-7 thru barrel): [URL='https://postimg.cc/rDgqhLXz'][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/SKbjxygL/4715-E15-B-2534-45-CF-97-B8-BB1-C80-EA6745.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://postimg.cc/NKQg7jnW'][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/9Q7r24YF/24-FEFA59-C8-E0-4-C9-B-AFCA-6602-F2097106.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://postimg.cc/mhF2TqM6'][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/2j0q7N5m/2-CAEE414-E5-F8-4411-98-F2-C8-AE4-C0-BAAC1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
