[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1901371, member: 96793"] The Ridgeline long action is “barrel heavy” when carrying in hand by the action. I believe the short action with the shorter barrel will balance at the natural hand carry spot. I have the long action and carry the rifle in my hand a good percentage of the time. It’s not a dealbreaker, but just something to think about with a “mountain rifle”. another thing I will add, a rail will make the rifle difficult to wrap your hand around. With Hawkins Hybrid rings or Tally’s, you can get you thumb between the action and scope during hand carry. The VX5HD in 3-15x42 barely fits between the rings with Hawkins Hybrids. Check your preferred scope mount that it will work with your action length. with a brake, the recoil on the 300 PRC will be completely mellow imo. I have Christensen’s side baffle brake on my 30 Nosler, both the radial and side baffle brakes work well. [/QUOTE]
