Have a christensen arms mpr. I like the gun but I would like to have one heavier and more for bench shooting. With that in mind, what would anybody recommend to be a good rifle? Just curious about rifles that would be better for my needs. Staying with the 300 prc

Sounds like you want something in a chassis. Consult one of the top rated gunsmith on here for a chassis build or go accuracy international. Top smiths: LRI, SAC, Altus.
I went Cadex for my heavier chassis build.

Heck you can build want you want for that. Watch on here for deals on barrels, chassis and actions
Most people here will say some semblance of the same thing I'm writing below:
- ARC CDC or Origin action ($899) - or barreled action for ~$1500
- Any of a number of triggers ($175 - $300)
- That leaves somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 for a chassis - there are a number of good options in that range.
That would get you a solid rig.
Surgeon Scalpel 300 PRC. Hell of a deal on Gunbroker, that I couldn't pass up.
You could run a pretty tricked out xlr for that price unless you have to have magnesium, but sounds like you are going towards a more solid base. Can add a bunch of weight if desired. And local company has them in stock.

When I first jumped into 300prc I bought a Savage Elite Precision since it was on sale for $1300. I have yet to be disappointed with it. The rifle is a heavy cow but that combined with the jetblast muzzle brake makes felt recoil no harder than a 308. Its extremely accurate with a variety of loads both factory and home brewed. I actually shoot it more than my Zermatt
