[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 1879734, member: 26633"] It’s been a while for any activity on this thread and didn’t want to start a new one but I had some thoughts. I have a 700 Long Range SS in 7mm rem mag. I was thinking of possibly changing this to a 6.5mm (something) not exactly sure. I want a heavier 6.5 to rebarrel to and I’ve narrowed it down to either a 6.5 saum (gap) Or 6.5 PRC I want to keep the 26” barrel length and if I stay with the long action I won’t have to worry about c.o.a.l. So my question is which would be the better route without changing a lot? I know the PRC is same bolt face as the rem mag but would it be much work to change it to fit the saum bolt face diameter? My reason to consider the saum is I want maximum performance out of this 6.5. Would it not be worth the trouble going with the saum and what will be required for that or should I just go with the PRC and what will it require to go this route? Thanks [/QUOTE]
