22 in 300 prc?

Any testing on this new rifle?

Fun fact the rifle just got back to me from the smith It looks beautiful however, I haven't been able to hit the range with it yet. Looking to do the break in on Monday perhaps and see how it shoots. I had it built with the intentions of shooting either the 200 gr terminal ascent, the 190 Winchester expedition big games and the 190 federal GMM hopefully she likes them.

I never understood this, especially if you have the means to load. Build a full custom rifle and shoot factory ammo...makes no sense. IMO save the money and just buy a seekins or something. It's kind of counter productive to ask about performance when you're neutering yourself by shooting factory ammo. If you want to shoot boxed ammo you're at the liberty of whatever each box shoots. Kinda kills the thread as soon as you decide factory ammo is the choice. At that point who really knows what or how your rifle is going to shoot for performance...

This is true however, reloading down the road is still an option……

I'm sure it will shoot decent either way. Food for thought is performance in different conditions with factory ammo. I've seen PRCs shoot very well with factory ammo. Then I've seen them absolutely fall apart on the mountain. It's not very pretty when it does. Luckily animals weren't wounded that time but personally id be fine if i never see it happen again. Good luck with your new toy. Let's see some pics!

Yea I just hope it shoots well. I had Brian over at pucker factor precision build it out of Wyoming and it looks great just need to shoot her. I'll upload some better photos of it on the range. For now here she is with my dog pepper. She gave the stamp of approval thus far.

Good looking stick! Keep us posted on the performance! I'm sure it will hammer!

Very nice looking rifle. I just purchased a 22" 300 PRC barreled action. May be a while before I have it all set up, but looking forward to working with the 215 berger hybrids.

Those 215s are hammers from what I see online should be great. What barreled action did you end up with?

Kelbly Nanook with a 1:8.5 twist 22" carbon from Preferred Barrel Blanks. Going to my FFL to pick it up later today.

I've had a 22-250 AI barrel from them that shot really well, so figured I'd give them a try again. Will add a triggertech special and most likely try a McMillan Mountain Tracker LR. I really like the Manners LRH (have 3 of them), but I want to try something different this time.

Oh that'll be sick. Can't wait to see the final product. Trying new things is always hard for me when it comes to guns the lrh I have is my first and I don't think I'll ever buy another stock, but everyone and their mother knows McMillan is right there with manners in terms of quality and fit/ finish
