Thread: 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.

Ginga got a T3 that was a shooter

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.

Sako 85

Sako rifles are timeless.
