[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 140924, member: 12"] If you want the best light rifle in WSM, go to the New Ultra Light Arms company in WVA made by Melvin Forbes. Been around about 20 or more years and the premier light rifle in most peoples opinion. I would not recommend porting or a muzzle brake for the 300 WSM. I do not think you will need it. The ULA stocks have a different recoil pulse that mitigates the recoil especially compared to wood. His short actions weigh 4.5 lbs w/o scope and the WSMs weigh right at 5 1/2 lbs with 24" barrels if I remember right. I have had two of his ULA Mod 20 short actions in 7mm-08 that were superb. Greatly regret selling them but guys made obscene cash offers. He makes his own proprietary actions and stocks that are absolutely top notch. Lot of others drill, mill and cut a reg 700 action, go with super short cut down stocks and it just does not come out and handle like the ULAs. Kimbers are the closest factory or decent other light rifle right now. BH [/QUOTE]
