Is the 6.5 prc and 7 prc large or small shank?
They are both Small Shank.
Pretty sure they are both large shank.

Well I will find out as I ordered one in 6.5 and 7 prc. The deal was to good to pass up.
Very clear seeing the Barrel nut. As I said, it’s Small Shank. You can scour the Earth looking for one with a Large Shank Barrel Nut and you won’t find it. So unless they are pulling a fast one, they are all Small Shank. Although can’t even find a picture of the ones with Shorter Barrels. So who knows what Savage is doing.

Any accuracy issues with the 7 PRC? I can't get consistent groups out of mine regardless of which factory ammo I'm shooting.Originally Posted by wywindsor
? J@A just sold this trail hunter takeoff barrel on eBay? Says it was a small shank?
I did think that all the prc’s were large shank till I saw the barrel nut on this rifle and then this small shank barrel for sale. I know this small shank action w/ target port is a new offering. Looks like the small shank prc is as well?
Just as I said from the start, then went and found proof to back it up.
Good find on that one as well pdog. I know you get it.
I have the 6.5 prc in hand. The shanks is 1.120. Not here to piss in anyone's cheerios.
The chamber is tight. The factory Hornaday 143 eldx has zero case to shoulder space. I hope to get a set of go/no go gauges from 4D rental seeing how they are local. I resized a Hornaday from a friends gun that will not chamber. His gun is a savage 110 with a proof barrel. My dies is a Hornaday. I need to see if it will chamber in his gun. His head space is .008 over the factory eldx. My die will only set it back to .006.
Would love to see pics of your rifle specifically.
Good to know. Not sure what J&A was selling then in my previous post? Or if it was a description error?
Glad you got the new toy. Let us know how it shoots
I'm heading to the shop to assemble a motor. When I get back this evening I will take pics. Hopefully I can get out to shoot it this week after work. I could have shot it yesterday in 40 mph winds. Same for today. I don't feel much like wasting ammo. I have 20 rounds of Hornaday 143eldx that weigh from 419.0 to 424.3gr. So @ 100yd. I might be ok. I don't expect much as the barrel is new. Just wanting to break it in.

Thank you whywindser. Did Savage pulled a fast one? Yours is definitely Large shank. But the Trail Hunter in 7mm PRS from the video I posted is definitely a small shank. Right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOf8w2VAT5k I wonder if they made just the first of them in Small Shank to get them out?
