[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1643364"] I like you plan and the 6.5 PRC will be perfect in an ultralight LR setup. I built a 6.5 SAUM off a LA magnum TIkka and it weighs 5.8 lbs with a 25" factory contour fluted barrel, and just over 7 lbs with a Leupold MK5 HD 3.6-18x44 It takes practice but in my opinion it's very easy to shoot a light weight 6.5 accurately at long range, I have no problem making first round hits beyond 1000. I am considering adding a compact suppressor on it though, it'd help spotting shots and would be awesome in the timber.. I'd go with a Tikka personally, it's a very light action and an extremely accurate platform. Plus you can use the factory LA magnum magazine, and factory trigger. Good luck and have fun with your build! [/QUOTE]
