7-6.5 PRC

[Suther]

I kinda agree with Jim on this one but not cause it wont be successful enough, its the fact that Tikka only chambers rifles that are CIP certified (European version of SAAMI) and it takes way longer to do that.

They make a 6.5prc. That was released in 2018.

They're already making 7 PRCs too - they were talking about them at SHOT for the ACE rifles, and a guy on Accurate Shooter says he bought one from Scheels at the end of April this year. The 7prc was only released in October 2022, so under 2.5 years from release to rifles on shelves.

I'm not saying you'll be able to get a Tikka in 7bc this year, or even next, but if the cartridge is a success then I think it'll happen at some point.

Yup, they don’t make anything cool so I guess I’ll never own one of their hunting rifles.

The 7-6.5 PRCW (W-Wheeler) is an outstanding cartridge, it really over performs and it’s no wonder it’s the new “darling” in F-Class
I have 3 rifles chambered in this Cartridge,
Two hunting rigs and a target rifle which I’m waiting for a stock for.
The 25” carbon fiber barreled rifle shoots the 175gr Berger Elite Hunter very consistently at 2900fps overtop of N555
ADG already makes head stamped ready to load brass for it and necking up Lapua 6.5 PRC brass is an easy option as well, I use a Cortina body mandrel.
This cartridge has quickly become one of my favourites.
