[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 335759, member: 18994"] Another advantage of going with the 300WSM is that no matter what brand of rifle you choose it will probably shoot MOA right off the shelf with factory ammo and probably half that with tuned handloads. It is a wonderfully accurate and forgiving cartridge. Weatherby has gotten some of the message on the Vangard triggers. Now they are all tuned at the factory to about 3.2lbs with little to no creep. I have tried a couple and they are pretty decent, but you still cannot readily adjust them below 3lbs. (just like the new Remington X-Mark Pro trigger) Older Vangard triggers were very creepy and mandated a timney trigger group. I'm a fan of Savage, Weatherby, Remington, Browning, Sako, Tikka etc. I have had the opportunity to shoot and load for alot of them. You need to get down to the gun shop and handle them all to see what feels good, looks good, and has the features that appeal to you. All of us have our Pet brands and whoever helps you out at the gun counter will have his also. Just because he works the gun counter generally does not make him an authority on what is best for you. My 2 cents is to get whatever you like in 300WSM. Chances are about 90% it will be a SUB MOA rig with handloads. In the $400 range, my personal Pet budget long range HUNTING rifle is the Weatherby that comes with a factory shot target. In the $700 range, the Sako, which guarantees 5 shots submoa and is one well engineered rig with a great trigger. [/QUOTE]
