Help me pick a new rifle

[DRobnsn]

If I were looking for a 300 win mag to just buy and go hunt with in that price range it would be a Rem 700 cdl, to get one in your price range you may have to go used but they are around.

As mentioned, tikka's aren't a bad option but they do have some pretty healthy recoil in that round especially the super light versions. If your looking at Tikka because of the removable mag, keep this in mind. If you want to carry an extra mag on you, you may have to work it over a bit. They are noisy, even in a pocket or pouch the ammo rattles inside of them when your moving quickly or jarring it around over rough terrain. I know this first hand.

After I get a little more cash together I'll be buying a new rifle.  It needs to be chambered for 300 win mag. 
I would like to spend $600-$700 but for the right rifle will go to $900... Not a penny more!
I would prefer to have a synthetic stock.
I would prefer to not use a detached magazine but that's not a deal killer.
Stainless would be nice but not required.
Would really like to have it made in America but know that's hard to come by now days.
My biggest concern is accuracy obviously...

I've been looking at Remington model 700 sps stainless, tikka t3 lite stainless, and tikka t3 super lite stainless.
What are your thoughts, good or bad, on those?  Any other recommendations.

Remington. and a new trigger

I like the savage 111, my concern would be being able to build in the future. I want a nice out of the box shooter right now but could see where some day I'd like to spend some money and build a really nice rifle.  From what I've seen that criteria is leading me towards a 700.  If I knew I could easily find parts then I would consider used as well..

I have a .300 and .338 identical rifles. I see no reason to use the .300. The .338 out performs it on everything. And I much prefer the .338 for elk. Deer only the .300 is fine.  The kick is identical for both and with good pad and synthetic stock theres no need for a brake.

If the price is right I would seriously consider this. I have one in 300wsm with a VX6 on top. For an out of the box factory gun you can not beat it. Sweet trigger. Already has the muzzle break. I sighted mine at 100 yrds after mounting the scope and haven't shot it inside 400 since. I've never been a long range shooter but banging steel at almost 800 yrds is pretty damn cool.

You don't think a .300 win mag is adequate for elk?

The mag-numb guys have it all figured out.

338mag vs 300 mag you better look at the book again. Know a lapua or a rum that different store  ..

[lhrbull]

save a little more money and go for 300 weatherby mark5

[nwwanderer]

Willys is a Elmer Keith type guy, that's ok.  Shoulder as many as you can find in your price range, which one fits?

[muleyslayer]

Im a big fan of the browning x-bolt. I have one in the 7mm mag. Very accurate and light weight. Some guys don't like them because browning isn't usa made anymore, but I honestly have no complaints.

Tikka topped with a Vortex. Both because it gets some people excited, but mostly just an affordable out of the box setup! No tinkerng involved..
