That is a pretty shooting iron. I had to Google up the 7mm PRC. Interesting stuff.

It’s basically a modern take on the 7mm REM Mag that allows longer heavy for caliber bullets. I am shooting 175gr Hornady ELDX’s @ 3000FPS

Have you shot it yet? I'd not heard of the PRC, wonder if it kicks like a 7mm mag? Those can leave a scope mark pretty quick! I'll bet it's a tack driving sumbitch though from what I just read about it. They're cross marketing the barrels to 7mm mag owners. Smart!

It’s actually supposed have less recoil than the 7mag so we will see. Plan on taking it out this weekend. I was pheasant hunting in KS a few weeks ago and they had a 2000 yard range, I was able to hit a 10”x10” 7 out of 10 times at 600 yards with my 6.5 PRC.

That is a beautiful rifle. I trust it will shoot as good as it looks.

Trav, would that thing shoot far enough to say, take down a balloon? Some crazy guy from downby Disneyworld wanted to know.

I have say why we wait for that ballon to go completely across the country before we shoot it down makes no sense.
