If you’re going the savage/outlier route, I just took it.
Bass pro / Cabela’s has 6.5prc 110 tactical on clearance for 500.00.
I bought the rifle, and sold the barrel, bolt head, and AICS magnum mag for 300.00. Still have the stock and bottom metal to sell, can probably get 150-175 for it. Ordered replacement bolt head and firing pin.
I already had AR butt stock I wanted to use.
I’m 200.00 for the outlier chassis and fore end, and worst case I’ll be in 200.00 for the savage blue printed action(allegedly). Will polish up action over next couple weeks and see if this kit is worth barreling.
Only downside to what I’m describing here: the 6.5PRC is short action, large barrel shank. Great if you ever want to shoot another short action magnum. But if you’re trying to cheap your way into barrels, you won’t find many non magnum large shank barrels.
No issue if you’re ordering a custom barrel.
