Hello. I had a 7x7 elk at 550 yards this past weekend, and was cliffed out across a canyon. I couldn't ethically touch him with my .308, so I'll be in the process of building a longer range rifle this winter.

I want to build a 6.5 PRC. I'm hoping to capitalize on black Friday sales to buy a Savage 110, and I just want to verify a few things before the purchase.

If I buy a 6.5 creedmore (currently the best deal at cabelas), then I would only need to replace the barrel, bolt face, and firing pin. Is this a correct statement? Thanks!
