[QUOTE="jimss, post: 2659981, member: 66919"] My son just got a Cabelas demo Sako S20 in 6.5 PRC. His barely had a scratch on it and was an incredible deal. I've heard others since when this was first offered by Cabelas that had a few more scratches on them. My son is 6'4" with long arms. The S20 fits him super well. The S20 model is amazing! I have a Sako Finnlite that I also like. Sako is pretty much a fancy model of Tikka and is an amazing rifle for the $! In regard to the PRC, it shoots very tight groups and would likely be great for deer, however, if you plan on hunting elk I would highly recommend a 30 cal. If you do a search about whether 6.5 PRC is big enough for elk there is a lot of controversy. If you ask the same question and switch to 30 cal, there is no question the answer is a resounding yes 30 cals are big enough for elk! Take a look at the ballistics, drop, etc. with the same size bullets. I have a 300 WSM that I've used for everything....including antelope, deer, elk, bear, mtn goat, sheep, moose, etc. Ever since I bought my 300 WSM I've never even considered buying another rifle. I hardly notice my 300 WSM kick. If I could only use 1 rifle for all game species and had the choice between 6.5 PRC and 300 WSM....there is no doubt in my mind I'd pick 300 WSM. [/QUOTE]
