I purchased a Savage 10FP (.308) bull barrel for $425.00. This is pretty much a sniper rifle and too heavy to carry hunting but it shoots sub-MOA all day and the accu-trigger is to die for. I will recommend Savage all day every day. I've been looking at the Tikka T3 in .300 WSM but have yet to fire one. The Tikka T3 Lite is light as a feather and I'm hopeful that the .300WSM doesn't produce a lot of recoil. I want short action but they advertise "Tikka Action"...whatever that is.
