Tikka 6.5 PRC build

[NascarManiac]

Just got my new 6.5 PRC back from Ultimate Accuracy..had a surplus Tikka T3 300WM so decided to have it converted.
26" Benchmark fluted barrel, 1"8 twist, recessed flat crown, Bell and Carlson bedded stock, and EGW rail with PRW Leupold rings....Swaro z5 weighs exactly 8lbs...hard to see with pictures but the flutes on the barrel were ceracoated green to match the stock!
Can't wait to get out and shoot tomorrow.....excited to reload for this baby!

Very nice build!

 

[BlackRam]

Nice!
Look forward to hearing how it shoots for you.
Been thinking of a similar build on a left handed Browning X-Bolt.

Correct...sweet optics!!!

Only Thing I don't Like is how high you have the scope mounted ? It would be too HIGH for proper cheek weld for me - But ? any Reason ? RJ

I need the medium rings to get proper cheek weld for 100% me..

I like my T3x 6.5 PRC. Built another on a T3 for a friend, they both shoot terrific (Benchmark barrels)
