This is the beginning stage of a build I have been looking forward to for a long time. I always wanted a 6.5 PRC. Yep the hype got to me. I was going to build a PRC out of a tikka action but it was too much work with change of the standard bolt face from an action I already have. The Christensen interested me because I already have a tack driver of a ridgeline 7mm rem. But it had too long of a barrel for my liking.
So I got a ti ridgeline. Also got a used proof stock that weighed 20oz. I had to do some inletting work with the Dremel tool as the stock was previously bedded. Also had to get the bottom metal to fit. I will need to re-bed the action to the stock. Probably do some slight camo sponge paint to break up the profile of the stock.
5.0lb on the dot. Will probably add an oz with the bedding. With Talley and vx6 3-18 50, it should be 6.5 lbs.
Loaded up some 143 eldx to break in the barrel and a load ladder for 156 eol with rl26. Let’s see where this baby goes with the load development
