Help me spend $2500

Get a fast twist and run the numbers on a 131, 133, 134, 135, or 138 around 3200-3300 and then get back to us...

If I could run numbers I wouldn't need books and the internet.

Speaking of the I-net, mine shows 115gr bullets sighted in at 200 yards with a MV of 3400fps drops about 48 inches at 400 yards. Is that about right or is the book wrong?

Looking for a new rifle. I want it to be chambered in 7 PRC and would prefer a 22" barrel so I can run a suppressor. Shooting will probably be mid range by most of your standards but would like to be able to be confident to make shots in hunting situations to 600 yards or so. I realize this takes practice. Not a big fan of Seekins as I don't like the feel of their stocks. What other rifles should I be looking at?

Have you seen the Ssvage 110 PPR? Proof barrel and Greyboe stock.

I actually had one on back order from EuroOptic but talked myself out of it so I cancelled that. The PH3 does have some cool new features but the PH2 with more barrel length choices and perhaps an adjustable cheek piece would have made a lot of people happy. While I think the PH3s are well thought out and designed rifles it seems like you're going to run into some speed bumps if you change multiple things at once. I hope I'm wrong. I honestly think I am heavily leaning towards the PH2 Element based on the excellent reviews and the fact that Seekins takes care of their customs if there are ever any issues.

Either go for the Element PH2 (current discounts are good since PH3 is coming soon) or wait for the PH3. Nothing but good things to say for the one I have had for the last 5 years chambered in 6.5PRC. At 5.5# it's really nice to carry and extremely accurate. The 21" barrel is nice with a suppressor. Here's mine from back in 2020 before I had a suppressor.

X-Bolts are typically pretty accurate and for $2500 you can get one of there're upgraded versions. I also would cast a vote for Zermatt action build. I also have a Savage 110 Ultralite that shoots lights out, but the stock is cheap. However Pure Precision makes a good upgrade for it though. The latest Weatherbys seem like a good option too but I never owned one. As you saw from other posts, I would stay away from Fierce as I have friends that had issues as well.

I've shot some of my tightest groups with a couple of X bolt LR's I have.
