Conclusion
This is probably the most accurate 30 caliber rifle I have ever had the pleasure of testing. It didn’t seem to have an issue shooting anything relatively well, but there were certainly some groups that stood out. It was incredibly precise and has a very pleasant recoil impulse considering the payload it’s delivering. I didn’t really have much of an interest in owning a 300 PRC myself, but after shooting this one, I may have changed my mind.
