[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1243478, member: 74902"] The Savage 116 is a known performer. I have one in 25-06 and shoot it to 500 yards. The 300 WM version will have Savages magnum profile barrel that is about .705 at the muzzle on a 24" barrel. This is enough to stop the barrel whip that is probably affecting the performance of the Remington SPS. I believe the barrel profile is thicker than the Tikka "lite" also. the Savage will be easier to tune than either. Plus when you shoot the barrel out, just replace it yourself and see significant savings. I shoot a Savage model 12 in 300 WSM to 700 yards. It has the .705 barrel profile. The Savage 116 also comes with the Accustock which is aluminum bedded with traditional recoil lug. Much better system than Tikka's unsecured recoil lug. I believe those can have issues with magnum rifles. [/QUOTE]
