Hello, I am looking at purchasing a 300 prc. I live in AK so want a larger caliber in case I run into a bear. I am wanting to get advice. Should get a custom gun from a place like R bros or get a stock gun from Fierce or Christensen Arms. Full disclosure I do not reload. Someday I may but at this point in my life with working full time, kids and fishing I just don't have time. If I am shooting factory ammo does custom vs higher end factory rifle make a difference?
If I do go custom other than R bros any recommendations.
Thanks for your help
Ryan
Another thought: .338 Winchester Mag.
Ammo available EVERYWHERE.
My friend has a .338 WM made by Mossberg, and it shoots half-inch groups.
It has a cheap plastic stock, and could use a heavier Boyds wood laminate stock.
But if you want a more pricy rifle, get a stainless TIKKA T3X.
Then put in in a Boyds wood laminate stock.

Internet PHOTO: TIKKA T3x bolt. I like the bolt face and extractor. - Better than most.
PHOTOS: My Mossberg 6.5 PRC (Strata Cerakote finish) in a Boyds wood (Forest Camo) laminate stock, Pachmayr Decelerator pad.
Nikon M-Tactical 3-12x42mm, Side-Focus, MK1-MOA reticle, Leupold 30mm rings.
Mossberg has a good extractor too - better than Remington 700.
Bought it all before the 'Plandemic' and 'Elect-Shun'
