Yeah see I like the 6.5 PRC cause it's a 6.5-284 with better marketing and has more people/manufacturers supporting it. I just like the super skinny bullets lol. A .264 150gr SMK is almost comical in shape lol. However, in my Mossberg Patriot Predator with a muzzle brake it still has a bit of a thump, about like a 270 Winchester... I also have a 270 and it's great. And don't get me wrong 30-06 is still my favorite caliber as I have an M1 Garand and it's sweet.


If you're a fan of 45-70 you need to get this. I've been dying for one, as you're guaranteed to be the kid on the block with this toy lol. Pricey but I gotta have it! Look at the muzzle energy, this thing would put a real hurtin on you.

Phoenix Weaponry This is built on our billet RFL (308) upper/lower with a custom barrel and barrel bushing.
The 45-70 Auto cartridge is the brainchild of the Owner and Founder of Phoenix Weaponry, Aaron Cayce. Born from the original 45-70 government developed in the 1873, this modernized cartridge steps into the modern hunting game generating in excess of 4,000 ft-lb of energy at the muzzle. This cartridge because of its straight wall also fills the requirements for hunting with a semi auto rifle in the states of Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio. This is built on our RFL (308) upper/lower with a custom barrel and barrel bushing. This being said, we can build you one in any configuration, caliber, finish - we can do whatever you want, your budget permitting.

The 6.5CM is not just a needless rehash. It was designed for a specific purpose, to do things the .260 was not intended to do. The .260 was a hunting cartridge from day one. The 6.5CM was a long range target cartridge. The faster standard twist meant better stability with heavier bullets at longer range. Making cartridges shorter, fatter, with sharper shoulders and longer necks makes them more efficient. Particularly in shorter barrels. The 6.5CM specifically intended to fit the AR10 platform and its magazines. It was designed by long range target shooters for long range target shooting. It shoots flatter than the .300WM without the blast and recoil, along with fitting into tidier platforms. It wasn't designed to make deer deader. Same for the PRC's.

The 6.5 is a bb compared to the 300WM, paper is bs, i'm tired of you tube and how I shoot 1 mile with a 223. A round is only as good as its effective range, meaning even if i can make 10miles, unless i can kill you its a joke. just like the current distance record, of like 7700 yards with a 426 barret. took 16 rounds and essential the equivelent of aiming at the moon to hit a targe the size of a car on the ground. and lets not forget the 25x scope, i'm sure that made it all possible, hell I cant see **** at 1000 at 25x let alone 7700. If you can't do a distance 100% of the time with accuracy its all games.

you might as well compare it to a 338 Lapua, i'm no pro, but skill plays a big part, some rich ******* lost $200 to me when his $12000 worth of accuracy intl 6.5 couldn't beat my 308 dpms autoloader. and then the myths travel on down to optics. at 1000 yards or less in normal daylight condistions, your $5000 5-25x56 optic will give you zero advatage over my 5-25x56 Vortex worth $600, my experience has always ended me up around marginal shooters with money bragging how their overpriced hardware will give them an edge over my average Joe stuff.

Heres my latest frankenstein budget built on the poor mans Rem783, and i'll bet it will shoot on par with any off the shelf rifle under $2500, this budget 783 was sub minute with the ****ty factory pars, so while duribility may be in question a pro could dance quite well with it IMG_0972.jpg IMG_0973-1.jpg IMG_0976.jpg IMG_0979.jpg IMG_0980.jpg IMG_0981-1.jpg IMG_0983.jpg

The 783s were just a cheaper version of a 700 right? Like it used proprietary stocks and stuff but was still a decent quality rifle? Me and dad sold one in 308 last fall for a decent price like 500 I think new without a box. It even had a scope mount I think too. I have yet to see another one so idk. Heck I barely see any 700s now that I think about it...

Actually completey different designs, but from what i've heard the 700 is not the same gun as it was years ago, and while more expensive its not much better than the 783. I haven't owned a 700 in recent times so i'm unsure if thats true. The biggest difference is there is almost zero upgrade stuff for the 783. This stock is one of 3 available and its actually amazing they even bothered to do a 783 version as when you search the list of guns compatible you find they are all well known high quality weapons. I did this for giggles, but thinking about it i have to come up with reasons why the components are 3x the price of the actual complete gun lol
