[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 1503479, member: 74115"] There's some very favorable reviews of the browning x-bolts lately. I've owned a Tikka T3 and a recent production Browning X-Bolt. They both shot equally well. Some of the X-Bolt models come with threaded barrels and brakes. I consider that a plus. All Tikka's are built on long actions. With minor mods, you can run really long hand load's in a Tikka. You'd need a 300 Win Mag magazine and a new bolt stop (you'd have to search, I've never done it). The 1:11 twist wont stabilize the heaviest of 30 cal projectiles but at a 600 yard max, doesn't really matter. If I were to buy a factory rifle, it would be an X-Bolt Hells Canyon Long Range (or similar model, maybe without the camo pattern). They're 26" barrels but they come the correct threading for things like suppressors and aftermarket muzzle brakes. [/QUOTE]
