[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2682991, member: 120719"] I'm with Lee. Buy a LH Tikka 7mm rem mag. As many say, Tikka is the "Easy Button" to owning a precision rifle capable of long range shooting. And they are exceedingly rugged. The 7mm RM is just about a ballistic twin to the PRC, so once/if you get into loading, you can shoot 175's just the same. I have a LH Tikka so equiped, and while the 1:9.5 isn't ideal for 175's, mine groups them tight at just about sea level. Likewise for several OEM Big green 7mm rem mags I had through the years. The extra velocity helps. If you want more COAL for heavies, it's no trick to get 3.6 out of a Tikka with a few simple modifications. If/when you shoot the barrel out, screw a 7 PRC on there. If you are set on a 300WM Tikka, I'd make sure to find one with a 1:10 vs the 1:11 they came with up until a couple years ago. [/QUOTE]
