Last week i posted asking about the barrel profile for my future nrl hunter build. I appreciate all of the help from everyone greatly. With my guard duty coming up and then actually now having accepted a job in Cheyenne ill have some decent money coming in. Having not been able to pull a trigger for almost a year (trying to be fiscally responsible and all that) my gift to myself is going to be a new rifle build for NRL hunter but will also pull additional duties of PRS, Hunting, and long range plinking. I will in now way be competitive so I’m not worried about optimized components for any specific comp or game, more of a generalist rifle that is effective and comfortable to shoot in as many conditions as possible, while also being ergonomic. Lead times being what they are across every industry i figured id start looking at ordering components and pieces in the near future in preparation for August. I initially am planning a 6.5 prc as discussed in my previous post. Ill also be getting 2 additional barrels 1 in 6x47, and 1 in 22gt (calibers aren’t set in stone they just seem to cover the entire spectrum of what i want to do) instead of getting 3 rifles to start i can have “3 rifles in 1…ish”. I mentioned that i had a spread sheet of components all worked up, ill list them all below. I’m interested to see what combination of components everyone would put together from the ones I’m trying to decide between. Any combination of components will come in below 15.75 lbs for the 6.5 prc build, the other 2 barrels will likely be heavier profiles so I’m not as worried about them making weight since i wont be using them in NRL hunter matches.
Component List:
-Actions: TL3 or Origin (they weigh the same so it’ll come down to features and cost)(only these 2 because PVA does barreled actions w/ them)
-Chassis: ARC Xylo, JP APAC, KRG Whiskey 3 folder, Foundation Revelation (i tend to be a fan of chassis, but have heard great things about foundation)
-Optics: Bushnell DMR 3 w/ EQL, Burris XTR Pro SCR 2 mil, Zeiss LRP S3 4-25, NF Atacr 4-20 mil xt (seems i wont be hurting for quality on any of them more just looking for opinions from those with experience as to which one will work well in the most roles)
-Mounts- NF mag mount/ xtrme duty ultra lite unimount, MPA 1.5, Hawkins 1 piece 1.5, Spuhr 4002c, ARC m-brace 1.5, warne skyline 1.39, Spuhr hunter 1.35. ( while I’m not crazy about the upper end weights i like the heights and am not a fan of rings).
-Stuff i already own- i already have a bipod and i already have a can (its a thunder chicken and i will be purchasing either a DOMINUS or a kgm r30k with thunder beast adapter because i want to move over to TBAC stuff) with mounts and cans these will all keep me under 15.9 lbs. will be getting a trigger tech 2 stage as well.
That is pretty much it, eventually ill get another action, chassis, and optic and interchange barrels between the 2, but for now this is what I’ve got. I appreciate the great recommendations from my last thread and look forward to seeing what everyone’s opinions are on this one.
