[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1485392, member: 33159"] I think everything sounds great. I love my 300 WSM. It’s my dedicated elk rifle. I have a Sako 75 that I put into a McMillan Hunter stock and put a muzzle brake on it (the brake is a must in my experience). The barrel is 24” plus the brake. It’s topped off with a Swarovski Z5. It’s light and nimble. Honestly, I really don’t notice on my shoulder as I’m humping up and down the mountain all day. You don’t need less than a 1:10 twist (mine is a Sako factory 1:11), since it will handle all the bullet weights you’ll ever use. A 180 gr bullet is a perfect combo for speed and performance. I changed to a 200 gr ELDX last season and it’s a hammer on elk, although it didn’t make the elk any more dead than the 180 gr Accubonds I used to shoot. It’s a great cartridge. I think you’ll be happy with your choice [/QUOTE]
