I wanted the ULTIMATE 7mm PRC rifle, and this story covers what I envisioned, why 7mm PRC was chosen, and how I built, Cerakoted, and laser engraved this rifle! Because this rifle has "1776" in the serial number, we decided to name it the "Freedom Rifle"!

Gavin, I’d have say to you’ve got a smokin hot build there in probably the sweetest caliber to hit the market in years, at least for hunting. Had to clarify that, there have been many great match grade calibers. Still say you do some great work, having been accused of being a little obsessive compulsive myself it’s easy to appreciate going above and beyond. But you can never argue with the results and that’s what tells the tale. Once again Thank You for sharing.

@guyminer2384 Жыл бұрын
The WSM cartridges are under-appreciated. I had a 300 WSM for quite a few years and found it to be accurate & powerful. Am sure your 270 WSM works great!
@LRRPFco52 Жыл бұрын
If you tight-twist the 270 WSM and spit Bergers out, it really does well at ELR and most of your elk hunting distances. The 7mm with 175s, 180s, and 195gr EOL extend the ethical hunting reach for competitive PRS and LR shooters who get regular trigger time at distance, and know their limits. 270 WSM with 170gr Berger EOL at 2800fps is great out to 900yds for elk, which beyond the capabilities of I’d say 95-98% of big game hunters with a tag, not knocking them, just reality. 7mm PRC will get you to 1300yds in the same conditions (22.92” Hg barometric pressure at elk altitudes in Rockies and Uintahs), with 180gr ELD-M at 2950fps. For LR elk hunters, that’s where it really comes into play. For hunts within 600yds, it won’t matter. Wind drift and drop favor the 7mm PRC of course across the flight path.

You have the money to pump 1k rounds out of it you probably have the money for another one. Besides that would probably only blow out the groups a 1/4 to a half inch at 100 with serious use over 1k rounds. It's not like the rifle won't work or be accurate to an extent

I got no problem buying high dollar rifles. Here’s my take though. If I want a cookie cutter rifle I’ll just go to cabelas. If I want a custom, I’ll personally speak to my smith, get his opinions, and build a rifle I love. Your build quality looks great. No need for a sun shade in most cases. The scope that’s mounted looks way close to the chassis forearm upper with the sun shade installed. Make something different. Build a nice mountain rifle with the newer aluminum/steel actions. Not EVERY rifle needs a pic rail. Tons of things you can do other than just building 15lbs rifles. Btw Bat Machine is amazing!

For perspective, nobody would bat an eye at using a 7mm rem mag on a moose. And for comparison, the 7mm PRC holds an extra 370 ft lbf of energy out at 500 yards (comparing the 162 eldx vs 175 eldx). Depending on the environmentals where you hunt, your energy is going to stay above 2000 all the way out to 600-700 yards. So you’d be perfectly fine hunting moose with the 7 PRC in my opinion.
