    Most accurate out of the box 300 WSM sporter?

    What's the most accurate out the box sporter rifle in 300 WSM? Ive got a hankering for one & can't be arsed with building a custom one so considering my options. Looking at Tikka T3, Winchester m70 extreme & maybe Sako 85 finnlight. Any experiences with these or any others worth considering? Really just want a mid range rifle in 300 WSM & will feed projectiles at the heavier end of the scale such as Berger VLD's, Amax's etc if the rifle agrees.

    Then look at twist rates and mag length

    ive a got a tikka t3 laminate 300wsm. Shoots 168 amax .5MOA, didnt shoot 180 grain accubonds better than 1MOA. Mag space is an issue with 208 AMAXS but havent devoloped a load for them yet, will probably have to single feed unless i can bring myself to modify the rather expensive magazine.

    T3 - should be easy with long action magazine & bolt stop replacement
    Winchester M70 - I gather internal mag box length is 3" instead of 2.8" like most
    Sako 85 - No freakn idea on mag length

    probably need to check with an OAL case gauge & check a rifle out to see how restrictive the mag boxes are on seating depth.

    if you can find a Winchester Extreme Weather Mod 70 in 300WSM at the reduced price of $1499 at one of the H&F stores, grab it. Other wise a T3 Lite would be the runner up. Based on owning both.

    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

    Sako rifles are timeless.

    Whereas drinking and posting is a more modern affliction
