So I'm looking for a 300wsm rifle for CO elk (also mule deer and maybe an Alaska trip a few years from now)
since I hunt elk in CO back country I get into some pretty rugged terrain--light weight is nice but it doesn't have to be the lightest thing available.
Looking for a nice rifle that would be good/very good accuracy...don't need a full custom rifle (thought I would love one some day), of course less $$ is better, so I can spend more on a quality optic--but I'm a realist and I want accuracy so I'm willing to save up if need be.
I reload and plan on trying bullets in the 180-200gr range. muzzle brake is ok but not nec.--I have easy access to a 600 yard practice shooting lane, and maybe out to 1000 within the next year or so for practice.
What are your suggestions for an accurate 300wsm out of the box rifle?? I want to know that I/the shooter and reloader am the limitation and not the rifle.
Thanks for your suggestions
