[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 2781012, member: 103742"] Well ironically... I don't own a Tikka lol (own one or multiple of virtually everything else) but own multiple of all the various 300 magnums. Tikkas are incredible accurate and I have yet to see one that doesn't shoot. Friends have multiple and I have shot them in calibers ranging from 22-250 to 300 WM. The only complaint that I hear (doesn't bug me but does for some people) is the polymer magazine. My 300 WSM is in a Kimber Montana and I have loaned that gun out to a few friends who wanted something light to carry but knock down power for elk. Each of them (3) bought a 300 WSM afterwards. Load or buy 300 WSM ammo with 180 grain Barness TTSX or the 175 gr LRX bullet (both have become my go to bullet lately but also having good luck with Nosler Accubonds) and hunt anything pretty much anywhere you want. You do not need a brake on it. If you do, it's only because your not practicing enough. Friends daughter is 5'11" and 115 lbs. Literally a bean pole... and she shoots a Rem 770 in 300 WM.... but each year she goes out and shoots 10-15 shots with a 22 then throws in a shot with her 243 then 15 more shots with the 243 then 22 then throws in a shot from the 300 WM. She doesn't hesitate to shoot her elk/moose at 400+ yards. The only issue with the 300 WSM around my neck of the woods is ammunition availability. Sometimes, it's not the easiest to buy. The shorter... but fatter bolt makes for a slightly lighter gun then a normal 300 WM with the same barrel lengths. The other gun to consider is a sako finnlight, but the Tikka is a great gun. In short... go for it!!! You will never regret the cartridge UNLESS your local store doesn't carry it. And if you reload... you'll never regret it. [/QUOTE]
