[QUOTE="rotorhead, post: 127637, member: 5078"] I too like the tikka rifles. If he wants something more I think the 300wby is the ticket make sure the smith keeps the free bore diamenter down. I wouldn't suggest the 30-378 type rounds unless you want to rebarrel every 800-1000 or so. I used to have a 30-378 and it was fast and mean and nasty and **** fun to shoot but for a small improvement in velocity it take a lot of powder and it is very hard on barrels. The 300wby isn't nearly as hard on barrels and gives you more than the 300WM which I think is a fine artridge itself. I have considered this one reasently and I have decided to go with the 300wby on my next build. The problem that I am courious about is the Tikka has a drop mag. I'm not sure a longer case will fit. you might want to check this issue out as well. RH [/QUOTE]
