[QUOTE="rammerjammer, post: 1996350, member: 64664"] I was just throwing out a differing opinion. I didn’t know you were intending to stretch it out to 800 yards with a 4.5lb rifle. I assumed that with that light of a rifle and 16-18” barrel this was a short handy rifle for thicker timber. Most would agree a 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor are about equals killing wise under 500. with a 16” barrel your going to be closer velocity wise to a 6.5 creed. now that your saying you think 19” is what you want to go with that changes everything and I like the 6.5 PRC idea a lot. please post up the results of your build. I have been contemplating a similar rifle but closer to 5.5-6lb. All my research keeps coming back to might as well go 308 or 7mm08 in that short of a barrel. (16” is what i want ) [/QUOTE]
