[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 424266, member: 13632"] The Savage model 12 VLP BBM in a 300 WSM would be so good!!! The model 12 comes with the varmint trigger so it goes down to the 1.5 lb mark and can easily be tuned super sweet so no trigger replacement required, also has a longer bolt handle which is nice when operating the rifle while staying on the stock. Non Accustock so you can sell the OEM stock if it not to your liking and get a number of other stocks. 26 in barrel is a plus if your building a LRH rig and I find the stock fairly comfortable and accurate but bedding it makes it just a little better. Have a brake put on it so you can easily spot shots and it would be very good, you may not want to change anything. If you get board with it all you need is 350-400 dollars and screw on a 338 Edge or RUM barrel and single feed it and you have a elk thumper! The only minus is it is heavy for packing, you end up around 12-13lbs ready to go. I shoot basically the same gun in a 270 WSM and my barrel is shot out and it will still shoot 10 in groups at 1030yrds but I've lost all my speed, 300 dollars and I'm new again! [/QUOTE]
