Re: Some .300 WM rifles.

Alright here we go we got some rifles now. I'm looking into custom but I would still like to know what most people consider the most accurate .300 win mag, for future reference.

Re: Some .300 WM rifles.

I have a Sendero 300WM. .75MOA with factory ammo, about .5MOA with handloads. Only modification is lightening of the trigger.

Yes, my scope cost a bit more than the gun! (Nikon Tactical).

You will get a lot of calls for custom on here. I'm not going to knock those suggesting that; custom guns are nice and usually will out-shoot my .5MOA Sendero. What you need to ask yourself, is exactly what do you want? Can you shoot well enough to make use of a .5MOA gun? Will you even tell the difference in the field between .3MOA and .5MOA? Most of all, for your purposes, will a couple of inches at 1000yds really mean anything to you?

If you want the ultimate in accuracy, definitely go custom. If .5-.75MOA is all you require, save yourself a ton of money and get a Sendero or the other factory suggestions posted.

If I were to buy off the shelf for accuracy, the Sendero would be my choice as well. If a lighter rifle was needed, I'd still stick with the 700, but in one of the lighter models.

Re: Some .300 WM rifles.

Might I inquire as to where you live ? Your personal info is " not " Also you seem to be struggling with the concept of having a custom rifle built .

The question you are asking is not answerable as each rifle is different . One Sendero may be a hummer the next NO! One 40xb maybe a house afire shooter and the next , no way . and so on .

Unfortunately even if you build a custom rifle it may turn out to be a dud . The chances are against it though if you use a smith and comnponents that are top notch .

None of this is what you wanted to hear I'm sure ........but , that is the way it is .

I am willing to walk you through the custom build process if you decide to go that way. My email addy is in my bio .

[/ QUOTE ] the sako trg-42 is not really a rifle you can go in a pick off a shelf.on the lists i frequent there is one and it is 4K. i can give you a list of possibilities. the factory rifles : remington 40xb; the weatherby accumark; rem sendero ; win laredo. the savage 12bvss as far as i know only comes in 300wsm not 300win. FN has several models that are similar but more money than the laredo. i would say the 40xb is the "best" of those mentioned; with a 27"+ barrel and an external adjustable trigger. roninflag

Re: Some .300 WM rifles.

roninflag is correct that the Savage BVSS is not avaliable in the 300 Win Mag. It is however available in the 112 VLP (varminter low profile) which most seem to prefer over the BVSS.
Another rifle not mentioned is the Weatherby Accumark which is available in 300 Win. You could almost go custom for the price though.
For the money spent verses likleyhood of getting a good shooter I believe the Savage is the best bet(for an off the shelf rifle).
