[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2306652, member: 118816"] You rock on with the 300 WM, good all around choice with ammo, (outside of these covid times) readily available. I would recommend a factory built firearm rather than a custom one. It has been my humble experience that Tikka's, Browning and Winchester model 70's are pretty much as good as they get and easily shoot under 1 MOA with the proper ammo. As far as optics, it's hard to beat a Vortex. I have Diamondback 6 x 24 x 50's on most of my rifles. Good optics quality, excellent light transmission and it's nice to make a 4 click adjustment and actually see the bullets hit one inch different. Mine are mounted on 20 moa rails with Vortex Rings. Both my 270 and 30-06 shoot sub moa. I just bought a Browning AB3 in 300 WM, had a muzzle brake put on to tame the recoil and it's already shooting 1 MOA groups, with a little more fine tuning I'm expecting sub MOA groups with both 165 and 180 gr bullets. Still working on which one works best. I like accurate rifles and so far have not spent over $1400 on any of mine and they are all shooters as well as good hunting rifles. One other thing is that ammo is coming back and is already becoming available for all three of those rounds, unlike some of the custom ones that may take another year or so before one sees ammo on the shelf for them. The choice however is really up to you since it's your money to spend. Good Luck and let us know what you decide on. :) [/QUOTE]
