Recommendations on new longer range hunting rifle

I love my Titanium mountain left hand in 300win mag.
it was very easy to find a sub 1/2 moa load (with regularly 1/4 moa groups) with 180 TTSX.
as a bonus it shoots 1/2 moa with federal 200gr terminal ascent factory ammo
a B.C. of .608 and 2980 fps average velocity with one, if not the best hunting bullet in my opinion, is great.

I'm definitely ordering one of these as soon as they are available in 7 PRC and ammo also comes available. Any idea what brand of trigger they are using?

I have the urge to get a new hunting rifle. Currently have 3 Remingtons -
243 -Model 600 Mohawk
308 - Model 660
350 Rem Mag- Model 7
And a Marlin 1895 SBL in 45/70

Budget- max 4k without optic

Cartridge- looking for something that will stabilize higher BC bullets at long range. Need to put more time in to extend my ranges put figure doing so on a more purpose built rifle isn’t a bad idea. My thoughts are towards something that has a little less recoil than the large magnums for a few reasons. 2 that stand out to me currently are 6.5 PRC and 280AI. Open to suggestions.

Rifle- really up in the air at this point. Liking the Fierce Arms (now Antler Arms). Not opposed to more chassis style rifles either but no real experience. Previously had a Tikka T3 in 7mm Rem Mag, loved the action but hated how cheap and flimsy the stock felt. Custom is an option but wouldn’t know where to start tbh.

Optics- I have a Leupold VX5-HD 3-15x44 with Firedot Duplex that will go on the rifle until the magnification becomes the limiting factor for the distance shooting.

Open to opinions and experiences. No rush so lead times aren’t too big of a concern.

Don't know my long range stuff too much but those 4 rifles are a nice little set of Hunting rifles. I'm a 600/660/7 fan and can appreciate the Marlin lever.
Nice Work

7mm will reach out and touch critters well enough. Not sure about ammo availability for the7mm prc though
 
Looks like Antler isn’t producing with the Rival stock anymore? Thats really to bad if thats the case. The Rival was kind of a copy of the Gunworks Clymr stock, the angled flat coming back from the tang, and how that transitioned into the grip was a really nice/comfy feature. I only handled one for a few minutes in the store but I remember thinking it’s a better shape than the one on my Ti carbon edge.
Great now I have to go find a rival before they get scarce lol.

The Rivals were never made in Canada by Antler (Fierce Canada at the time)
they only made the model based on the Sako style action.

Well my Antler Arms Rocky Mountain in 6.5 PRC with the LR stock came in this week. Can’t wait to get it out next weekend to break in. Installed a Leupold VX6HD 3-18x44 Firedot duplex reticle in Low Leupold Backcountry aluminum rings. Rifle naturally has 20moa built into the mounts. Have a MTN carbon fibre bipod from NZ on it too.

Resurrecting the thread, but I'm also looking at an Antler Arms Rocky Mountain in good old fudd .300WM.

Just looking for a follow up from you nearly 2 years later. Are you still happy with it? Should I take the plunge?
