[QUOTE="huntforfood, post: 2845750, member: 114703"] I built a 6.5 prc off a 300 wm tikka so I can say that is a good option. The 6.5 prc would be similar to going 300 wsm. If you swap out bottom metal and mags to mountain tac, you can select various length internal mags and could change the bolt stop as well to customize your bolt throw to be shorter, if need be. The long action give alot of COAL room in the mag. I left everything alone, kept the 300 wm bolt stop and ordered the mountain tac long action mags, plenty of room and not seeing feeding issues but have really put it through the paces yet. In regards to feeding, the WSMs maybe be slightly wider than the prc, so check that out, maybe mountain tac has wsm mags, I have seen that with hawkins. I know on Rem 700 guys have to open up bottom feed ramp/lips going from 300 WM to WSMs or 300 RUMs, not sure if that is tikka issue though. [/QUOTE]
