I was considering rebarreling my short action Origin for 6.5 PRC. I had to stop and wonder when I got that email. I'm not sure a medium-size action would be necessary and I didn't want to spend for a whole new rifle. Hmmm....

The email I got says, "Some commonly used stock and chassis manufactures have information on hand for this action. Information can be provided to others upon request.". So I assume not? IDK

I have a 6.5 PRC in a short action. It works, but a little more length would have been useful for the heavier/longer bullets. The trade-off is that medium length magazines are harder to find than short action.
 
I would go with Zermatt if the price is right and if it has the Rem 700 SA footprint.
I've been looking at the Ruckus Tac to do that job.
 
@Zermatt Arms could definitively answer but I'd venture a guess it's not the same as their SA footprint. Good chassis options from MDT and XLR available as well as Manners and McMillan. I have exactly zero experience with XM size actions. Wonder how they feed 223/224V/6ARC size cartridges.
 
I have a Mesa altitude stock waiting for inlet, I'm going to change to deviant xm for the origin medium. 7saum is gonna be my chamber. Does anyone know if @HawkinsPrecision is going to run the hunter dbm in xm length?
Seems like I read somewhere it was in line after the Long actions were done. So hopefully by middle of 2022.

Appears so according to the email.
