New Weatherby! 7mm PRC and left handed

[flyboy214]

Hello everyone, I'm a left handed back country hunter and I have been on the hunt for a do everything rifle.

This might be the ticket.

Left handed options in the 7mm prc and 6.5 RPM. I like the paint better than the apex.

5.7 lbs in 6.5 RPM with #1 profile barrel
6.8 lbs in 7mm PRC with #2 profile barrel

Vs the Apex
6.5 lbs in 6.5 RPM with #3 profile barrel?

Do you think there is a tangible benefit to the #3 profile barrel? Maybe less heat sensitivity?

If you had the choice between waiting for the new weatherby highline or picking up a weatherby apex what direction would you go and why?

I have a 6.5-300 already and it has been great. I'm interested in the 7mm prc as a hornady supported option with ammo availability likely to increase. From what I have seen, weatherby usually supports their own cartridges well, but the prices tend to stay high.

I wouldn't limit myself with a weatherby cartridge i'd get 7 prc

I am up in canada and ordered a left hand high country in 7prc the day they were released. I have always shot weatherbys and when they introduced a 7prc in the cool new high country I just couldnt resist. My current favorite weatherby is the big 6.5-300 backcountry.
