I'm looking to start putting together a 6.5 build. I'm hoping you will look over my build sheet and make sure I'm not missing anything. I'm going with the Tikka mainly because I already have a couple others and I like the action (especially for this size cartridge). Plus it has a three position safety which is a must for me.
6.5 PRC build list:
-Tikka Stainless T3x Action, 300WM or 7mm Rem Mag (try to find a donor on sale or used)
-Mesa Altitude stock (Using the factory Tikka Plastic bottom metal and magazine)
-Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56
-Nightforce 20moa Aluminium base
-Seekins Medium 35mm aluminum rings (Or Vortex, pretty sure they are the same)
-Proof Research Prefit 6.5 PRC 24" carbon barrel
-APA Little Bastard Gen 2 Brake
-6.5 PRC go no go gauges
-Patriot Valley Tikka Action Wrench (I have a 31mm wrench for breaking the factory barrel loose)
-Barrel Vise (Unsure what to go for here)
-Marine-Tex
