6.5 PRC for LR groundhogs

[Sigfla]

I already have a Dakota .243 in a 10 twist. I am toying with the idea of a 6.5 PRC in an 8 twist. I want to play in the 95-140 grain range. Not 100% on what bullet exactly but I am kinda wanting a 6.5 PRC. I might consider a 6 PRC as well but I shoot lefty and I don’t have a million options. Looking at Bergara (barrel length too short at 20 inches), Savage 110 Precision, Tikka, or maybe taking my old unused Savage long action .308 and turning it into a single shot 6.5 PRC. Any thoughts or suggestions? Anybody think I am way off in my thinking or have a better option?

If for ghogs might consider the Sierra 105 TVK (used to be BK).

I am leaning towards the Bergara even with the shorter barrel. I suppose I could shoot it a bunch then eventually rebarrel longer. I am a traditionalist and just don’t love the chassis look on the Savage. That Sierra TVK has me wanting the 6.5 even more. I also like the Hornady ELDVT 100’s and Nosler BT’s.
