If you're looking for lightweight it does have a short action but large bolt face.
As much as I think the .257wby is an amazing cartridge, it is going to require a larger action (as will the 6.5/300 meaning a heavier rifle.
Have a look at the 6.5 RPM in the hunter. While not 6.5/300 speed, it is a little quicker than the PRC with a smaller bolt face
6.2 lbs is a pretty decent weight for the money.
Ammo isn't that hard to find. Quick trip to Barrhead will set you up

Im ok on long or short acrions. The rifle itself will be the lightest ive ever owned period. I was just going off something i red about 6.5 prc vs 300wm. I found it a little fishy
