[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1768341, member: 103919"] I shoot a 6.5 Addiction for PRS and would use it for hunting but I prefer other options for hunting. I only get 1200'ish per barrel pushing a 147 at 2940 with 4831. I can still use ARC mags with 419 extensions to get 12 round. I would recommend for PRS to have a cartridge that can use a 12 round mag and have at least 1 12 round mag. I'm not sure there are any PRC options for this. Not a killer if you don't if you get 9 good shots off that are hits a 9 on a 12 round stage is probably very respectable. I shot a match at the beginning of November with a gentlemen who was shooting at 6.5PRC with 143s at 3000+fps. He did ok. For a cross-over rifle, it's right at the top edge of your price point, but I'd look hard at the 6.5 Creedmoor, stainless 24" Tikka CTR. For hunting with RL 26 you could push a 143 eldx/140 Accubond/142LRAB into the 2900s and for normal PRS shooting use a 140 ELD/140 Berger would get better barrel life at 2700-2850 with RL16 or H4350. This Tikka only has 10 rd mags, but if there are plenty of stock options to move to a AI mag which will give the 12rd capacity options. [/QUOTE]
