[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2805125, member: 103303"] Generally, I'd agree, but the OP is looking at 7mm RM or 300WM. Tikka magazine length is limited to 3.35", and twist rates are 1/9.5 and 1/11 respectively. The short magazine length and slower twist rates limit bullet selection in these two chamberings... Not a big deal if a guy is just shooting factory loads, but to a handloader interested in maximizing long range performance, these two factors are crippling Don't get me wrong, I love Tikkas, but in my experience there are better platforms when it comes to true long action magnum cartridges.
