[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1715206, member: 52437"] The 6.5 PRC intrigues me, personally, for a couple reasons. I do prefer short action handy rifles, my long range is 400-500 yards. I love my 6.5cm and Yes I know a 6.5cm would do just fine on deer at the yardages I stated but id like a little more oomph and a little flatter shooting. I know a 270 will shine here as well but honestly I was just never really a fan. I already have a 7mm rem mag and while I like it, the rifle is just a bit too much heavier than my handy 6.5cm and as stated, I am preferring short actions more and more. If 6.5 prc becomes as popular as the 6.5cm, that would be great for factory ammo and rifle options (I am starting to reload less these days). If all of this held true, then id likely get a tikka or browning sporter type rifle in 6.5prc and keep it under 9lbs with a scope and let it compliment my 6.5creedmore. As an fyi, this is all your fault lol. You recommended me get my wife a 7mm-08 for deer hunting using nosler 120 B-tips. I did exactly that for her a couple years back and I LOVE that rifle. It is just so small and handy and light with very little recoil. I was using it whenever she wasn't until we purchased her backup rifle which is the 6.5cm. Now I use that rifle all the time. Now all of my other rifles are just sitting in the safe while we use these lighter handier rifles. [/QUOTE]
