[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 2465599, member: 4809"] I would favor the 300 WSM in the Tikka. The Tikka action is a long action - regardless of the round you are shooting. Tikka changes only the bolt stop (length of bolt throw) and magazine for shorter rounds. The Tikka can handle the 300 WM in factory loadings, but will most likely not be able to handle (fit) the longer, heavier VLD bullets for hand loading. The longer cartridges such as the 300 NM, 300 RUM, 7mm STW simply will not fit the action/magazine. For that reason, I would choose the 300 WSM. It allows you to load the longer 308 bullets. Keep in mind, the Tikka in either 300 WM or 300 WSM has some very stout recoil due to light weight rifle and stock design. [/QUOTE]
