[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 256905, member: 12"] I would recommend the 300 WSM. Easy to load, wide variety of bullet weights, top notch accuracy capable and extremely good barrel life. I would look at really two guns. Either the Tikka or the Savage (heavy barrel) Both can be had for under $700 and you have $ to buy a decent scope and shoot a lot. I would lean towards the heavy barrel with the savage. easy to change barrels with a simple wrench vise and $50 set of go/no-go guages. Does not get any easier than that and can be tweaked to shoot very very good. BH [/QUOTE]
