Hey everyone, long time lurker and first time poster. I need a little help, I have a savage 110 tactical in 6.5 prc that's about 95% shot out. Its got a solid action and factory AICS bottom metal, would likely replace the stock with a carbon fiber stock from pure precision. I can't decide on what to do with it and would like to see what you guys think. I just finished a lighter weight rifle on a solus action with pure precision stock and carbon 6 barrel in 6.5prc that kind of scratches the 6.5prc itch for me.
Option 1: sell the action and put that money into an entirely new build in a long action magnum(300 or 7prc). But I do prefer short actions.
Option 2: rebarrel to a larger short mag (300wsm, 7saum, etc) the idea of a 208eldm at 2850fps out of a 300wsm sounds like a really solid elk rifle, but so does a 195 eol out of a saum. Brass availability is a concern with both of these calibers, atleast wsm I can turn factory ammo into brass.
Option 3: rebarrel with another 6.5prc and shoot it until it dies again, keeping track of brass and keeping up on components might get annoying and it wouldn't really add any versatility to my safe.
Option 4: you guys tell me. Am I missing an obvious choice that I didn't list?
Thanks everyone!
