Thread: 7prc new buid

Picked up the new rifle on saturday and headed upto brads to get it all sighted in.
Its build on a Pierce shadow action with a triggertech trigger and rings that all came from Cam at Alpine pression
20" bartlein 2B Barrel, metal work and stocky vertical hunter stock from greg who got it all coated & put together and shooting.
Its topped off with a pod Vx5
Dpt can with stainless baffle
Blacklanz bipod

Very happy with how it all went, currently running hornady factory ammo at a very underwhelming 2700ish fps but groups very well
Going to get my hands on some federal premium 175eldx when it arrives, quite a few on the american forums have found it to be 150fps faster then hornady.
Got home and realised i had 2 batchers of ammo but only shot one the 3443 shot these groups.











Took it for a walk yesterday in the Southern Ruhainies new spot in an old area but no joy on even seeing an animal this trip.

Nice new toy

Came in just under 4kg on gregs shipping scales, I should chuck it on my kitchen scales sometime, probably shave off 500g or so

I know the reason for PRCs are to shoot heavies but it would be cool to shoot 140 hammers or 168bergers at warp speed in one of these.

I think I’ll probably end up putting a short barrel 7mm together to give it a go

Very nice setup man!

Went and done some shooting Sunday trying out the federal factory ammo and shooting the Hornady I had over the crony

Hornady lot 3443 avg 2806
Hornady lot 0197 avg 2787

Shot a box of the Federal think the 1st shots where around 2830 then it got going.









Was feeling rusty and it showed. I normally shoot just fine with recoil. but i haven't done a lot of shooting of late and couldn't keep it together.

just shows how you need to keep practicing to keep good.

Will try it on a Harris bipod instead of my backlanz and see if that helps keep the front down a little and will get a dpt baffle brake for on the range and report back in a few weeks.
Next will be to switch up scopes and add a little more weight that way.

Overall i am bloody stoked, just wish i could get out and shoot every other weekend like the good old days.

Also my New Action from Cam at Alpine Precision has arrived so will start a new build when I'm back from the USA.
