452b264 Report post Posted 21 hours ago I just found this on MIDWAY USA on 5/05 and there were 9 in stock. they have 8 left if anyone is interested in a 6.5 PRC. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102978458?pid=334568 The one I just finished cleaning has the enlarged bolt handle not the small one that is always supplied with the mesa and ridgeline. Also the stock is the solid dark black with the gray webbing. It not the one in the photo. The action is slightly tight/firm but smooth right out of the box and after a though cleaning and the proper lube in the right place it feels even better. Both of the lugs on this sample have full contact. There's no rail. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubberduckie Report post Posted 16 hours ago The actions are nice. Better than factory rem 700. Stocks are nice and light and comfortable. Id expect the chamber to need to be reworked. Either way still a good deal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted 9 hours ago My dad had one. Stock split in half. Cheap plastic. I’ve seen guys rebarrel and restock them and have decent luck with them, but if you’re doing that you might as well spend $300 more and get a good quality built action.

You could take it out and shoot a .75 MOA group and have it dead on, and then take it out a month or two later and it would be an inch low and a couple inches left. I think it’s the cheap stocks and barrels reacting to temp and humidity but could be wrong. My brother had one and it was the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
