[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1904135, member: 14204"] The .300 WM is an excellent choice! I am blessed with plenty of choices but the .300 WM remains my go-to chambering for antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards. I am a big Savage fan, their out of the box accuracy and DIY friendliness is hard to beat. I do not have a Tikka but I have a SAKO M995, they are awesome rifles and their action is buttery smooth. However, you need to be aware of their factory barrel twist of 1:11" (unless it has changed). Not that there is anything wrong with it but you might be limited to the 190g bullets if you want to take advantage of high BC bullets. It is not for everybody but an effective muzzle brake (and there are plenty of choices) does an amazing job in reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise. I am not recoil sensitive but All of my hunting rifles except for my .30-30 and 6.5x55 Swede have muzzle brakes/suppressor. I started using them in 2003 and never looked back. Seeing impact on targets is priceless. Good luck! [MEDIA=youtube]5d_wwTYuWaI:1[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
