What? Howa is chambering 1500's in 6.5PRC and slapping the Vanguard label on them now? Killer.

Only Weatherby that comes in Titanium is the new Mark V BackCountry

Maybe the RPM later

Is it a long action? I had a howa 1500 prc, it was a long action. But absolutely garbage. Bore was super tight. 40 rounds, horrible groups, ejector prints and swipe scary deep. I think they cut the barrel 6.4mm on accident or something.

 

[Nomosendero]

Sorry to hear that.
O, I would want to be a long action with a generous mag.

The rifle length is listed as exactly same as the 6.5 creedmoor, which is most definitely a short action. Let's hope it's a miss print. The vanguard short actions are VERY short.

I am waiting on one in the WBY RPM caliber.

6.5prc is a short action with a magnum bolt face. I have no idea why it would need to be longer than the 6.5cm. The cartridge lengths are the same..

No they aren't the same length. Factory Loaded prc rounds are 2.95" and loaded 6.5Cm is 2.80" coal

Does the muzzle brake screw off ? I personally do not like muzzle breaks. From what I see the PRC needs a long action. IMO.

I just found factory loaded 6.5cm cartridges at 2.93, so.... yeah
