30 Sherman yes. Also a video comparing it to the 300 prc would be nice as well.

I truly enjoy watching your videos!! I inspired me to build my 6.5 creedmoor remington 700, and I think it turned out nice for a budget build!

I love the Tikka 300 Winmag It’s extremely accurate and it has a 5/8 x 24 threaded barrel out of the factory and the trigger is excellent

Thank you for the comment on the trigger setup. I thought I was going insane. Really love your videos. Keep up the great work. BTW, the audio was good. There are some echos, but you did say it was a new space.

I hated the Hact 2 trigger on my .300 WM when I first got it. Now I love it. Once you can master that pressure and eliminate the 1st stage its pretty smooth.

Really nice setup. Thanks for sharing your thoughts for the Howa triggers. I will keep that in mind. Aaron

Pieter, greetings from Georgia, USA. I enjoyed your video. I have a Howa 6.5cm that I dropped in a LSS Gen 2 MDT chassis. Topped it with Vortex rings and a 5x25-56 Strike Eagle. I added a Magpul PRS Gen 3 buttstock and an Erik Cortina tuner brake. It shoots great! Saw you in some videos from the South Africa tournament this year as well as The Rockchuck Olympics.... I have the same shirt, it gets some odd looks...Alan L.

great build video, the last one, a bit asmr , like those mountain bike assembly videos, but one tip, use a vice to hold the stock, that way, you can Torque the screws down with a torque wrench and have two hands free, as well as not maring the parts while tightening them.

I really like the angled grip its on both my oryx rifles and it really suits me cheers.

I purchased the Howa 6.5 PRC and recently the Howa 300 PRC.

Scope transition... Well done!

enjoying... looking forward to your load development.

Finger snap scope change was done well 👍

Sound is clear but there is a bit of an echo.

I bought a Howa 6.5 PRC and now waiting for the license. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford a MDT as I wanted so I settled for the TSPX from SCSA. Looking forward to building mine. Thanks for the great channel.

Nice video, i miss videos when you build projects and show the full process😁

Love the build!

Good Video Piet but room needs some sound absorbing material, way too much reverberation from nothing to absorb the echo from the hard smooth walls, ceiling (and assuming floor too from the sounds of it). Also, that Mag is 3.715 on the outside dimension, so your max COAL is going to be about 3.615" by time you take away the wall thickness (If I remember correctly, the material thickness for those mags are .045", so .090" of total wall thickness plus a small bit of clearance .010 so the loaded rounds don't drag and get hung up and you're down to 3.615" max COAL). I surprised MDT didn't make the ESS in a C.I.P. (3.850") mag.

I was gonna do this!!! Never knew of this video, I'm happy I watched this because I was curious how he managed to fit 300 prc in the ess chassis for the howa because the mags specifically for the 300 prc are a little bit longer and not compatible with the howa long action chassis, but I don't reload my own ammo yet and don't want to worry about the length of the round fitting in a 300 win mag magazine

I wish you could try the Bergara HMR in 300 PRC. Longer magazine and fantastic accuracy. The stock is pretty decent too.

JARD just released a new trigger for the howa and it’s super nice

can you do a video of the best prs production built for you. is the one most guys will start with. keep it up

I have the strike eagle 5-25 on my 6.5 creedmoor and I'm moving that scope over to my new bergara b-14 hmr 300 prc, I want the razor gen 3 but it is alooooot of money, I plan to put it in a cadex field tactical chassis too if the bergara will drop In

The howa 1500 does come with the 5/8 × 24 threaded barrell.

Lekker piet. When its ready and u got it dailed in pls pls take it to one of your long range gong comps days 😁

Bought a savage in300prc shoots well!

I am VERY pleased with my Arken EP5 5/25/56. Really great scope and under $600. Would have kept your budget plan.

30 sherman yes! Hell anything from Mr Sherman would be cool. I wish howa would get with the times and start offering 26" barrels in the magnums and CIP length magazines. The timney triggers are not a bad option btw. I have them on all of my howa's

I have a Howa 1500 in 308. I agree that the trigger sucks. There is a company here in the states where I live. In Iowa. It is called Jard triggers and I don't mind it at all. That's something you could try.

Would love to see you build a .30-378 Weatherby Magnum

6.5 and 300 PRC are hopefully going to be one of my next calibers for a mid-range $$$ build. I built a budget rifle 2 years ago, and used some of your collective knowledge as a platform to collect parts and build up my rifle. I ended up going with a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 ffp. The rifle is a Bergara B14 B.M.P chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I chose the 6.5 Creedmoor after watching you and all the information provided while shooting it. It has been an absolute fantastic rifle for me and has more than served as purpose in both target shooting, and hunting. Thank you for everything you do Pete.

I had a Howa 300PRC in an ESS chassis also. I had the chassis milled slightly to accept the 3.850" magazines, so much more room for loading the 220gr+ projectiles. We also did a little work on the factory Howa feed ramp, just to allow smooth feeding of the long rounds. I sold the set-up around 12 months ago, was a great package with a 28" custom heavy barrel and a Nightforce NX8.

Nice video..would like to know can you put baker wings on the ESS.

Loving this build I've just purchased a 300prc in a howa 1500 with a mtd oryx chassis can't wait to shoot it. Keep up the great KZfaq video's. Ps I'm in Australia love the channel

Quick question, I can't remember the video you mentioned this in but you recommended a brand of flip up scope caps covers. Love your videos.

can you test your Howa with the Raptor barrel tuner installed? Since you are selling it, it would be good if you keep it on a rifle build and give us updates how the barrel tuner is performing... i.e. does it hold accuracy, accuracy under different elevations, weather, etc

I am guessing that the 5/8x24 thread on Howas is their Bull Barrel thread since the factory thread on my Howa 223 22" standard barrel is 1/2x20.

30 Sherman mag for sure !!!!!

Nice combo.. Do you have any loading data... Thanks

How about using a 300 or 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag Vanguard acction for the 300PRC ?

30 YES !!!

Yes on the .30 Sherman Magnum

Chomping at the bit to see what that badboy can do.

Where can you get some good trigger work done in gauteng

You should have got a Arken 5-25×50 for budget build.Its better than Strike Eagle.I have both

Sounds like you need some acoustic treatment in that room . Too much bounce creating echo. And some additional lighting for the rifle . BTW love your videos

Would you recommend an ESS chassis for a Bergara B-14 Carbon barreled action for hunting? Weight is a bit of a concern.

30 sherman pls. I purchased both 6.5 and 300 prc. Because they will be hard working I went gen 6 warrior and venom route. APW 30 moa rails and warbird silencers. I was thinking timey as they have drop in triggers for howa 1500. They will basically replace my 243 and 308 howas that both exceeded 2750 rounds hunting this year. Note. The warrior takes full length 3.85" mag for 300.

cool vid Piet, is that the raptor5 ports or monster?

Yes,yes,yes...!!

Well I'm sold. Which leads to this question. Can anyone purchase a Howa 300 PRC action and barrel or do I have to purchase the Howa 1550, and pitch the stock? I have been trying to figure out the right way to go.

Hi Piet. Die klank is effens 'hol' en die angular rifle op die front cam view maak dit moeilik om die details van die geweer te sien. Baie nice build!

Brownells exclusives Howa 1500 action & barrel 300 wm & prc is 1/2”28 thread. I thought it was some type of typo or wrong listing because 1/2”28 is really strange for 30cal usually it is 5/8”24 but in this case it’s not. Customer purchase confirmed the thread is in fact 1/2”28 and now I can’t find any muzzle breaks that has a 1/2”28 thread for 30cal. I’m in US

Nice. What's the scope ring height mate?

Okay so i must beg to differ on howa HACT trigger system. Maybe not the best there is but for a budget rifle it is top notch. Did my own custom job on it and shes sittin pretty at 1.5 lbs. the 2nd stage is barely even felt. Super smooth and reliable. But thier stocks… okay i can agree with you on them but a bedding job can fix that if your budget building like me.

3:49 I have a Howa 300PRC action and I have no idea what chassis to buy for it I have it in a long action Oryx for the moment; as you note the 'long action' mag well is TOO SHORT for 300PRC rounds, which would need 3.85 I am not sure if there are any options for the Howa action, which blows my mind, I'm top loading rounds one by one, but for hunting I'd like a mag I wonder if I could buy a chassis for another action and make it fit the Howa? the Oryx was so cheap I've considered milling out the well just that little extra bit

What is the length of arca rail? And the height and moa of the scope mount?

Awesome setup, and looks amazing. off topic what would you recommend as a do it all hunting rifle/setup for someone?

Would love to see you do a build with a Tikka action, been looking at chambering it in 300 WSM with extra free-bore to push the pills out. Otherwise the Sherman equivalent. All Tikka's are long actions so it gives plenty of room.

30 Sherman mag Yes!

And BTW 20min and a spring snip the factory howa trigger is down rite amazing

30 Sherman mag..... YES please!!!!!

Could you explain why you would choose the strike eagle over the pst II or do a video on it! Just curious why and room needs some sound dampeners for the echo but love the videos, long time subscriber :)

30 Sherman build for sure

What bullet and bullet weight are you using ?

Piet, who is your trigger guy? I am in Cape Town and wanting to get my Howa trigger properly done.

Check out Jard triggers

That's a lot of Rand broe, but a helleva nice precision rifle!

nice build. So all in, not including the scope, what did this cost, about $3k including the base Howa rifle?

What model HOWA rifle did you use ??

30 sherman mag yes

where did you get the shirt?

30 sherman mag yes🎉🎉

is that barrel 26" or 24"?

Hi Piet! Hello from North Carolina, USA! Can you tell me what barrel contour you went with for the build?

I want all the gun building susan/youtube will allow. More Magnums!!

30 Sherman mag and sound is clear but everyone couple words there’s a slight echo

My howa 300PRC is a 26" treaded in 1/2x 28

30 sherman mag yes 👍

Ek moet nog my aansoek indien. Is altyd senuweeagtig voor n aansoek waar dit amper n mens pariliseer. (Dalk is ek alleen in dit) my motiveering is solid. Maar bly steeds angstig

30 sm plz

30SM pls

30 sherman yes yes yes!!

30 Sherman mag yes. (I don’t use exclamation points, but I am enthused.)

What is the intended use of these larger caliber rifles? Are they for competition or hunting or both? In the US, no one uses the largest caliber for competition unless it's larger caliber competition specific match. Lots of 6mm and 22Creeds, but very few 6.5 or larger calibers used by anyone that's active in multiplier PRS matches.

When are you shooting this guy? Want to know what the accuracy is. Or did I miss it 🙄

Awe piet

Yeah! Like the videos with no talking.

30 sherman mag, YES

Nice👌🏻

You need some objects in the room or sound proofing panels for the wall. The audio is hard to listen to.

Waar is jou tuner?

Great video like always. Maybe just need to stick the walls of the new room with some of those sponsies for the echo. Afrikaans word of the day, sponsie=sponge.

Great video. I have a Howa 1500 in an ACC, what is it about their HACT trigger you don’t like? It is adjustable. I was considering a Timney trigger what do you think about that?

30 Sherman Mag kaboom 💥

30 Sherman yes.

How long dit the license for this gun take

some more guns on the wall, to keep the echo down😂

Thoughts on vector opitcs scopes?

So idk what the R infront of the price means on your sight. But what does the Raptor Monster cost in USD? Lol
