Tikka T3 300 WSM Stainless/Composite

[CAMPMEAT]

That would do. Not quite as big as the one I saw last weekend. Monster 3x4 that I wouldn't mind sticking and arrow in. I'll let you know when I can get over there. I'm hoping for Muzzy and stay through modern if I can fill the elk tag.

Ok. I applied for 4 disabled elk tags and 4 disabled deer tags. Hopefully I'll get drawn for an elk tag.

Here's a couple more of 2 more deer hanging around with the other one.

not a real big fan of the wsm, but I love my Tikka.  Great gun, lite and built well and shoot great.

I watched the .300 wsm in action last year with 180 accubonds three shots on deer , elk and sheep all one shot drops . I wouldn't sell a 300 wm to buy a wsm but if buying new i'd pick up the wsm . I owm a t3 in 300wsm and really like shooting it . the recoil is very managible and for a pack gun it works well . plastic clip and sloppy bolt kinda bug me , but that being said its a shooter , and the trigger isnt too bad . If you can spring for a lil more i'd go with the sako .

Love the Tikka.

I've got a 300 mag T/C Encore Stainless/Composite. I wanted something different and I think I found it.

I have the same gun , i absolutely love mine. I put a limbsaver recoil pad on and it cut the recoil down substantially.

I have the Tikka T3 lite 300 WM. Not sure what the difference is between that and the WSM is. Maybe someone could enlighten me.

Shorter action in the 300 wsm, except in the Tikka. 

Short fat cartridge, uses less powder to equal 300 WM velocities.   Less recoil in every gun I have shot.

My experience with Tikka T3s is that they are very accurate and easy to carry.  Factory scope rings suck and suggest Talley LW or DNZ as replacements.  The only thing that bugs me, and it really bugs me, is that there is only 1 action length for the Tikka.  Buying a short action cartridge doesn't matter because its not a short action.  And, depending on how the rifle is throated, the magazine could be too short for the 300 Win Mag.  The 300 Winny has a longer case than other standard magnums but still abides by 30-06 OAL.  It really needs a longer box to really shine.

I can go either way on the WSMs.  I think the 270 and 300 are here to stay as main-stay cartridges.  I've had issues reloading for WSMs due to dies being a bit too long and not allowing proper resizing of the shoulder and crappy feeding.  Die companies will fix the dies if this is the case though.

Won't small case dies fix the problem ?
