Need Help! Re-barrel my weatherby accumark mark v 7 rem mag

[duckhunterrr]

I am currently looking at re-barreling my Weatherby Accumark Mark V. It’s currently a 7mm rem mag but I’m looking to do a 6.5Prc. My current set up is a 7prc. Doing 6.5prc for my dad to shoot.

Question I have is, if anyone has done this can my original weatherby stock work? If so what contour barrel should I do? I’m looking at most likely doing a 1:7.5 twist. Most likely 22” with break. I am looking at Carbon6 since they prefit for my weatherby.

Lastly, I may look at doing a peak 44 bastion stock if needed.

Thanks for the help!

@CarbonSix any advice? Thanks!

Your current stock will work just fine. The barrel contour depends on how heavy you want it. What most places call a #2 is what most full size standard sporter rifles use. A #3 is like what many companies call a magnum sporter profile. #4 is pretty heavy, and a #5 is like a typical varmint weight gun has.

Im not positive on this, but you may need a slightly wider magazine because the prc body is thicker than the 7 mag. I’ve heard some guns work fine with a belted mag magazine and some don’t.
