[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 2309322, member: 53978"] I would like to reconsider my thought that a Tikka in 300PRC would attract me. It would, but the magazine is too short to use the PRC, 8"-twist, with long heavy monolithic bullets without single-loading the top round only, and different loads in the magazine itself. That is not a good all-around solution. For the PRC, one would need a longer action and one should look at CA, preferably in one of the lower price ranges. However, if Tikka is now doing a 10" twist in all 30 calibers, then the 300WSM would become close to ideal. Tikka uses there standard action for the WSM series, which means that a longer length COL and magazine are possible. Voila--a very lightweight, adaptable 30-cal hunting tool, with longer bullets seated long. Of course, the 300PRC with medium weight bullets would still work very well in a Tikka with 10" twist. PS: I am uneasy that Tikka still lists only 11" twists on its website. [/QUOTE]
