[QUOTE="Smokepoles, post: 1210971, member: 79002"] I'm trying to acquire a new 300 wsm for an elk hunt this year and having some trouble. I picked up an x bolt in an attempt to end the debate and every piece of brass ejected hit the scope and landed back in the action (after a couple scopes and sets of rings), I got rid of that one. I had a tikka a while back that functioned flawlessly but isn't really what I'm looking for. I don't have time to build one at this point, can anyone recommend a good functioning, reliable factory rifle in 300 wsm that I could mount a scope with big target turrets on without issue? I don't have extensive experience with rifles chambered in wsm and don't want to be blindsided with annoying issues. rifles main purpose will be backpacking for elk, shots out to a max of 5-600 if I can get it shooting and have enough time to practice with it. My biggest concern is accuracy and am hoping for a good stock with a big palm swell. I can palm a basketball, the ruger and savage type grips just don't work for me. I can replace a stock if necessary so not a total deal breaker, just looking for good reliable function. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
