[QUOTE="jlarose85, post: 2427713, member: 113450"] I hear you on the barrel length. I'm definitely planning on going 16.5" when I cut down my .308. As a concealed carry holder and a suppressor owner I can't agree with you more on needing uniform laws nationwide. I hadn't considered the 6.5PRC for my longer range / out west build. And when I say longer range, for me that means likely 500 yards and in as that's about all I'm comfortable with at the moment. My "master plan" was to build a rifle on the Bighorn origin action so I could have my shorty .308 for my home property in MS and be able to swap bolt head and barrel for a magnum caliber for some trips I'm planning out west for elk and mule deer so that meant both had to be short action. After doing some research the 300 WSM seemed like a shoe in for that particular slot especially considering I wasn't trying to shoot super far on my larger game targets and since I'm not a reloader at the moment factory ammo availability is something that's really important. I'm going to have to look into the 6.5PRC and consider that as an option. [/QUOTE]
