Re: 6.5 PRC rifles
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Tikka rifles I've shot and their owners have all been highly complimentary. One particular African Hunter in .308 is an absolute clover leaf printer and as mentioned above they are very smooth.

Re: 6.5 PRC rifles
With scopes, less is more. For hunting, 6-24 is overkill. A 3-9 is perfect for most hunting applications. A simple fixed 6x or 8x is not popular for fashion reasons, but will serve you best, as with experience, you can judge the distance by the size of the animal in the scope picture. Also, the more magnification, and the greater the range of magnification, will negatively affect the optical quality, so you will have to spend more to get the same clarity vs a low magnification scope. For hunting, I stick to 8x on the plains. I only ever go up to 12x when I am at the range and am developing a load. In that case more magnification is useful to fine tune a load.
The Swarovski z3 4-12 x 50 is a good buy at the moment.

Re: 6.5 PRC rifles
You can't get a PRC then put max 12x scope on, that's just wasted potential
