7PRC build ground up - thoughts?

[ajacobs]

Want to build a very solid 7PRC with all the bells and whistles. What are your thoughts?

Target rifle, traditonal style hunting rifle, modern hunting rifle? Need to know the intended purpose before we can reccomend anything. Also budget for the rifle.

Yep, Rob is on it, first step is intended use. Which knowing Art is going to be some long range work on steel targets and some hunting. He tricked me into selling him my lightweight carbon fiber 300PRC so I'm thinking probably a slightly heavier chasis build.

Good point! I think focus on hunting long range. I have a good 300prc set up well for long range target. As Terry stated I would also be hitting some steel.

Alright so this is my long range hunter build that ive been very pleased with. It is chambered in 7-375ruger and I also spun up a 300 prc barrel for it. Specs are as follows
Defiance Anti action
Benchmark 8 twist number 4 barrel at 26"
Manners LRH stock
Hawkins hunter bottom metal
Trigger tech special
Area 419 hellfire (silencers not legal in Canadastan). I am really partial to manners stocks, the PH or the new folder would also be great stock options. I built a near twin to this one for a friend in 300prc as well. The AG composites stocks are also very worth a look if you are unfamiliar. Any of the defiance actions are great, Falkor is making some very nice stuff as well. If you are into 3 lug actions check out a terminus. I havent had one in my hands but that Stiller wombat may be worth a look as well.

If Barrett wanted to make me a 16" barrell for the 300PRC or 300WM I'd shoot the shit out of it
