Have played around with upgrades on my handguns and built up ARs from scratch, but got the long range bug last year. Currently have a Bergara Premier Comp in 6gt and have got that dialed in. So brain is jumping to a new project.
Interested in a 6.5 PRC build I can hunt with (no real long shots for hunting) and take out to distance on the range. But definitely some new things I'm not familiar with. Looking for some help to ensure I understand exactly what I need.
Plan is to start with an Impact 737r SA. I've read some people lean towards a medium action for 6.5 PRC in case they have long COAL on heavier bullets, but read plenty get by with the short action. But wanted thoughts as I'm certainly fresh to this cartridge.
Was going to pair with a Proof Carbon sendero profit and an AG composite stock.
Where I get lost is bottom metals. Especially with the 6.5 PRC being a larger round for the short action I get lost in the details. Not sure what I need here or what my options are. Do want a detachable box magazine.
Just looking for insight if the action is a decent choice for the round and to fill in the gaps on bottom metal and magazine options.
