I went with the browning hells canyon speed, in a 28 nosler. for the money its a lot of gun. accuracy well under a inch at 100 yards. 300 WM would be a great caliber in the browning. I dont think it would disappoint you
 
Im new to all this been hunting for years just bought Browning Hells Cayon Long Range McMillan Ambush in 300 wm and purchased a nightforce shv 5-20 power orderd out night force mounts waiting to set up the gun and see how it works. hope it shoots well gearing up for elk trip out west.
 
I like the Browning but I do think the step up to the professional x bolt is worth it. Carbon fiber stock makes that gun a.practical spot and stock carry rifle that the mcmillan stocked is not

That comes from someone with 3 MacMillan stocked rifles
 
Thanks guys for your help. I guess when your spending this much money you want all the input you can get. I like the idea of shouldering the rifles for my self that may be my next thing to do. Only problem I doubt any of my local stores have an XBolt in a McMillian stock. I do appreciate all the help and will look deeper at the Ridgeline and the 700.
 
Ive been a Browning fan my whole life.Started out duck hunting with an old belgium browning auto-5 the old spring operated one shot lots of ducks and geese with the old thing still bring out if retirement every once in a while just to show how good the old stuff still works, in my time buy the best you can afford and you cant go wrong.If you cant afford it, just wait and save up for it because you dont have it already.This is my first mcmillan stock gun.i love to shoot and will keep hunting and shooting as long as i can, what its worth i live in the stupidest state for gun laws good old illinois.
 
Seekins mine is in 6.5 Creedmoor it is a true 1/2" rifle once you have a load it likes and the customer service is great. I also have a Fierce 270 WSM and it shoots just as well, but after 4 or 5 rounds groups open up to an inch +, the first round is always right on. If this is a dedicated hunting rifle any of your choices will be good. Always consider the company and their service record. The people you deal with can make a big difference if you have a problem. Seekins and Fierce are great people and easy to deal with. Just my opinion. Have fun, go with your gut.
 
I have never shot a Seekins or Bergara, but I have handled a lot of Browning rifles over the years and they have all shot really well (not saying they can't have issues because they can). I think whichever one fits you best and the one you like the feel of best will work great. Any of the rifles suggested would be a good option. I also really like the Cooper Rifles if that is an option for you. I have shot and done load development for several of them and they seem to be great guns.
Or, just dive in and find a good gunsmith, get and action, and build it how you want. A lot of gunsmiths offer the "semi-custom" option of building a gun for not a lot more than what you buy off the shelf if you get something on the top end of the factory rifles.
 
I was in your boat a little over a year ago. I had a friend that kept telling me go savage and build it yourself. After a few months of him pestering me about it I found a great deal on a used one at a pawn shop $250 30-06. So now I have a semi custom 300WM for around $1,100. Custom stockade stock, SSS competition trigger and Benchmark barrel. Shoots sub .5 MOA @200 and still fine tuning my reloading.

Just an option to think about
 
I would stay away from christensen arms all together, I have seen to many bad groupings come from them. I know when they're good, they truly are, but 1 in 5 sold have seen returned due to concerns and these are solid shooters, so 20% failure rate is pretty **** poor if you ask me
 
I have a semi custom Savage 280ai in a mcmillan htg stock with timney trigger

It's ugly, it's heavy, people look down on you because it's a Savage but darn that thing flat out shoots

lol The looks was my main issue not going with the savage. Friend said you want a looker or a shooter lol, shot his and was convinced. I'm a savage man now, actually looking for another good deal to build another one.
