[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1624425, member: 54178"] At the time I ordered my 6.5 Creedmoor Browning X-Bolt Pro "semi-custom" rifle the 6.5 PRC was not available in Browning X-Bolts. I get consistent 1/2 MOA accuracy with Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X ammo and I do have 6.5 CM Redding precision dies since I compete with a 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle. So now I have both an older .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt and that 6.5 CM X-Bolt Pro. Seems to me the 6.5PRC could fill the role of both rifles for game here in Nevada and other parts of the mountain west. Plus in the X-Bolt Pro it coms in a 24" barrel which I feel is the ideal length for that cartridge in a hunting rifle. SO... now I'm thinking of selling both rifles and getting the X-Bolt Pro in 6.5 PRC. Is that a sane decision? Or is my quiver already "perfect" for the intended game? Eric B. [/QUOTE]
