What's the barrel contour on that PRC? I'm curious what it's going to weigh with a 28" barrel? Might get a little heavy to be lugging around. Sounds like both are super nice rigs though.
Was my choice the right one

Heavy palma 1-7.5 twist. Most of my stands are inclosed tho with shooting rest.
Why worry about what others think? It's your decision to make ... enjoy and have fun with it.

30" HP blanks from Krieger run about 6.5 lbs unchambered. You're probably going to have a 5.5-6lb 28" chambered barrel when they're done with chamber and cutting to 28". If it's being fluted that will reduce the weight a tad also. Nice barrel but heavy for sure. You may want to do a weight total of all your components including the potential optic, mounts, bipod, bottom metal, stock, action, magazine loaded, etc.. just so your clear on what your getting. If it's primary function will be the range and hunting from a blind you'll be fine but based on what I see it's going to be a super nice but heavy rig. Should be a shooter for sure. Good luck.

I think you've made great decisions. Both will be great for your application.

Your choices seem sound to me. Not many of us can say we got it right the first time. I have sorted through a lot of cartridges, and find myself going back to a few after an absence.

My recommendation is go with the same scope for both guns. That way you are a master with the scope.
