300 win mag suggestions
Posted on 1/22/15 at 9:55 am
Posted on 1/22/15 at 9:55 am
Looking to buy a 300 win mag bolt action rifle for hunting and target shooting:
Barrel is 26' or less
Barrel is 'heavy' profile (I have no preference regarding about SS, CL, etc)
Has aftermarket stocks available to free float/ accept detachable magazines
Not interested in Remington or Browning.
Price is not a concern but I want to avoid building it myself (ie buying action, barrel, stock separately etc.)
It will have a can mounted but getting the barrel threaded myself doesn't both me.
Thanks for your time OB.

If price isn't an issue I would purchase a rifle from Montana Rifle Company.
They have some great looking and shooting guns.

this removes many choices.
as far as aftermarket support, remington is unmatched (which I'm sure you are aware of)
maybe the savage 10/110 FCP w/ HS stock?

I wish that the Remington of today was the same quality as the one of my childhood. Unfortunately I've got 3 R700s in the climate controlled safe that I have to fight the external rust off of every 6 months
ETA I must have missed the Savage in the HS stock on buds. That looks like a pretty good deal at around $950 right?

Surgeon makes awesome target guns. I would reccomend the long action scalpal with an IOR Valdada scope if price is not an issue.

I was looking at those an some of the GAP rifles. I've never had a chance to shoot either, do you own one?

This is why people hate people who own Tikka. It's not the answer to every question.

Maybe a venom tactical?
They use 700 actions but you won't be getting a crappy finish if that's your concern.

Had never heard of these, but after checking out their website, they look great

I don't think anyone makes a barrel over 26 feet so you should be okay.

I looked into a GAP rifle, but IIRC, their lead times were like 6 months to a year on a basic off-the-shelf rifle

Remtington 700 Sendero SFii final answer.
Whether you are interested in Remington or not this is a hell of a base rifle with a pile of aftermarket options available. I will also add that this rifle with a small amount of modifications will shoot better than you most likely will ever be able to for a fraction of the price.

Seriously, if price isn't an issue then take the action from the rem700 and build your on off that. Most builds will be off the Rem 700 action. However Savage and Tikka also are pretty versatile with builds as well. GAP is very good at what they do. Also check out the BR-10 by Mcree's Precision. I'm getting ready to build a .260 in that model.

I do not own one but I have a couple hundred rounds downrange with guns built on their actions (in fact, this past weekend when I was sighting in my rifle, a friend of mine let me shoot his surgeon with a proof research barrel and Thunderbeast suppressor). Buttery smooth and far more accurate than my abilities. The one I shot this past weekend was chambered in 6x47.

I prefer push feed rather than control feed.
