[QUOTE="bthomasb1, post: 726657, member: 39017"] I would rather see you not go with the 300 wsm or the sako,why,my boss got on a 300 wsm kick this summer and wanted a light weight gun,so he bought a rem model 7,then a sako finnlight and finally to a custom rifle,I shot over 500 rounds thru those 3 guns and none of the 3 could produce 1/2 moa groups with factory or handloads with 180 grain bullets at 3000 fps or above,the sako was the only one that didnt have feeding problems,a friend of mine has a winchester and it has feeding problems.The 300 win mag long version will do anything you want it to if you can handel the recoil.They also produce higher velocities i have seen several go 3150 with 180 grain bullets and 30 cal bullet selection is excellent.Also if you dont reload or something happens to your ammo,ammo can be found almost anywhere and they make some very goods factory loads for it.Do what you want and good luck with it,this is just my personal experience.
