6.5 creedmoor/6.5 prc recoil

[WildRose]

I bought a used remmington 700 rmef edition synthetic stock stainless barrel. Nothings been changed since new

The first thing I'd do is ditch the cheap plastic stock and replace it with a good composite or fiberglass. McMillan is a great starting point.

You're not going to get that thing to shoot well without putting quite a lot of work in it trying to stiffen what you have, installing piers, bedding etc.

You'd be better off just starting with a good stock, having it professionally bedded and then start working on any other remaining issues.

Okay no problem, what kind of triggers would you recommend to try and get? I'll try a new stock and trigger and see what happens.

If it's the old style trigger a decent gunsmith can work it over for you and you'll have a very satisfactory trigger without putting a lot of extra money into it.

6.5 PRC's parent case is the 300RCM, not a SAUM case.

Same basic difference. The .300 RCM is based off the .375 Ruger, which is a .532" bolt face magnum cartridge that Ruger copied the same basic specs as the RUM, Nosler, WSM, SAUM cases that are based off the .404 Jeffery parent case.

Timney, Trigger Tech, and Jewell are all well-proven and good options. That's where I'd start my search.

Okay thanks a lot for the input I'll give it a try

It's a newer style trigger xmark pro

Ahh, they take a little more work but can be made quite acceptable.

Just going on memory here so please correct me if in error but as I recall the 375 Ruger is not based on the 404 Jeffery, tho it does share the .532" bolt face with the RUM's that have rebated rims while the Ruger does not. As I recall the Ruger was a unique configuration unto itself, not rebated yet beltless ... yes, on occasion I have been accused of being somewhat on the OCD side!

I have a Timney trigger that works great! The cheap stock that came on my 700 has given me a lot of trouble, I will be changing it to a more reliable option soon!!

You are correct Sir. "It's a non-rebated short mag based on a short RCM [Ruger Compact Magnum] case. It has 3-4 grains less capacity than the 6.5 SAUM which nets about 30-50 fps deficit to the SAUM."

LOL! You are correct Sir! The Hornady-Ruger partnership is an innovation in itself to come up with a modern rifle cartridge design in the market. Rimless design has the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300/.375 H&H Magnums (not parent cases).

I would look into greyboe stocks or the stockys carbon stocks can be had for good prices. McMillan are good stocks but are pretty spendy worth it but if you can't spend that much check the others I mentioned above.

The parent case of the 6.5 Creedmoor is the 30TC.

Aye Sir! There was a time that I wanted to own a .30 TC but was short lived.
