factory 7mm prc rifle

I think it really depends on your budget? The best bang for your buck would probably be Tikka or a browning xbolt. They usually shoot well. My son has a begara premier in 6.5 PRC. It was kinda picky, but got it to shoot 156 grain bergers well.

Bergara is an excellent choice and won't break the bank

Really depends on budget and use. Can you provide more information?

Mostly hunting, target shooting or both? Suppressed, braked, or neither?

Lots of good suggestions in this thread - personally I've had good luck with Fierce and Tikka, but Bergara, Christiansen Arms, Seekins, Browning, and more also have good reputations. Really comes down to what you want and what you want to spend. The astonishing thing about modern cartridges and rifles is how well they shoot from 'budget' rifles all the way up.

Has anyone else seen this kind of velocity from factory ammo with 7 PCR? I'm getting 2840 with 180 grain

My 26" Seekins:
Hornady 180 Match; 7 shot avg, 2808
Federal 175 ELDX; 2952
Copper Creek 175 Berger; 3045

I don't understand why we don't read the post from the OP. She clearly stated that she doesn't have the budget for most of what has been recommended and that a Howa or Vanguard is in her budget. I don't think there is a Vanguard in 7prc but Howa makes them. Seekins and Browning Pro xbolt are certainly good rifles but more than twice the cost of a Vanguard or Howa. She seems to know what she wants for cartridge so a good rifle in her general budget would be helpful. That's just me trying to actually respond to her

You don't understand why we didn't read the post & we don't understand what post you actually read.

OMR(semi custom), Tikka, Remington Alpha 1. Accuracy.
I have a OMR prefit barrel in 7 prc(jk, it's a 7mag 8T, before the 7 prc came out) and it's very good, .427 moa at 300 yards.
I like what Remington did with the Alpha 1 and I'VE never gotten a Remy that didnt shoot .625 moa or better with handloads. Tikkas's are always accurate. And nowadays McMillan sells stocks for tikka.
OMR now sells whole rifle packages(shouldered barrels, no barrel nut) which you can pick stocks, colors and barrel specs to. This group was shot with my OMR prefit (remage) 7mag 8T 26" barrel. 2919 fps AV, ES is 15.
Lee the owner of OMR is a nice guy, him or his wife answer the phone. It's gonna cost more but worth it and your supporting a family business that has great CS. I am getting another OMR remage barrel this spring, a 33 nosler. Anywhere you see SS in 2nd pic can now be ceracoted any color you want, including the action and break. OMR uses button pulled match SS blanks to make their CF barrels to your specs- lengh, twist and caliber. It took 2.5 months to get my 1st barrel, so leade times are reasonable.

I have OMR stocks on my 7PRC you can check with unknown munitions they have a lot tikka rifles and hells canyon handle them as will I use a lot of there parts and barrels

Federal makes a 175 Hornady that runs 3004 FPS in a 24" barrel I shoot them in my 7 prc and my buddies do , they are pretty accurate
