[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1953325, member: 31749"] These kinds of threads always remind me of those folks out there who dump thousands of dollars of maintenance into old sh**box trucks because it's "cheaper than a new one"... never mind the fact that it doesnt always start, may leave you stranded somewhere, smokes, noisy, radio and AC dont work anymore, slow/poor gas mileage. Even if your old one runs... it's still probably not even half as capable as whats on the market now. Just because a group of people refuse to stop using it, doesnt mean there arent much better options out there. The 6.5 PRC is the "new truck", its better in just about every single measurable way. Should you sell all your older rifles or have them re-barreled to it? No... but if you are are buying new and dont have any prior investment you'd be stupid to go buy the older platform that isnt even optimized for the task at hand (the OP said long range hunting). If "long range" hunting for you is inside of 500yds, by all means grab you a box of core-lokts from Walmart and eat your heart out. [/QUOTE]
