LMAO....maybe!  Talk to 10 guys that say 300 WM and 10 more that preach WSM... For me, hopefully this is the upgrade I am looking for.

The WM was designed for Blued guns and the WSM designed for stainless ones
so there ya go, it'll all be fine, except you have to carry around fat boolits now.

Thanks for all the input everyone...what a great thread of info.  I officially ordered my Tikka T3 Lite 300 WSM in the stainless barrel/synthetic stock from Wholesale Sports.  They didnt have one in stock but had one shipped from the Silverton store...should be here in a few days.  Cant wait!  I will do a review when I get to put some rounds through it and then...how it performs in Oregon and Washington for Rockies, Roosies and Blacktails this fall.

If you need some reloading data to start with, holler at me..

I do believe Carl has it figured out.

It's the blued guns that kick harder too!!!

Dang, that must be why I had to put a limbsaver on my WSM...It was all that blued stuff on it!

I've got that exact rifle and  I love it.  Folks who debate a WSM vs. a WM are the same folks, (or maybe the grandchildren of the folks) that used to argue the 30 Remington vs. 30-30.  They both have pro's and con's, but neither is so much better than the other to warrant any debate.  Love my 300 WM  for no other reason than brass is cheap and available.

I love light weight rifles.  A wise man (Dad) once told me, "you will pack 'em a lot more than you shoot 'em". 

Don't know why, but for some reason Tikka's seem to shoot really, really well right out of the box.

Good luck and good shooting to you.

I love my Tikka T3 300 WM, but if I was to buy another rifle it would be a Tikka T3 7M Mag. Flatter shooting and great downrange energy. Could you imagine shooting a Tikka + 7MM + Berger bullets with their great BC.....now that would be a great long range powder stick. Ya, there are better rifles out there, but not in my price range.....
