firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 19 Might as well use a 7/08 if you're gonna handicap a PRC with a 20" barrel! 🤣 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Built a 6.5 PRC that is shooting a 156 Berger at 2890 @ less than 1/2 moa with a 20” proof. Nothing crazy but it’s a purpose built rifle for backpacking.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 19 I don't know because its not something I would ever do. I don't think an extra 4" of barrel makes the rifle impossible to pack. But then again, my 28 Nosler has a 26" barrel and a 2" brake, so long barrels don't bother me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The extra 6 inches is definitely not a deal breaker but it is noticeable when strapped to the side of the pack while moving through thick overgrown vegetation. On a side note. At the same time I had the 6.5 PRC built I had my 28 Nosler rebarreled from a 28” to a 26” Proof in 7PRC. It’s shooting the 195 EOL @ 3030fps at 1/4 moa. Velocity is very similar to my 28 Nosler considering it has 2” less in barrel length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
