RE: g
I got a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless for $608. Mine is chamberd in 300 WSM but that have many other choices to suit your needs. I ahd mine out for 3 days of bear season in the snow and rain and never cleaned it just to see how it dose. The barrel was packed with snow that i ahd to clean out about every hour. I never had a problem with it. I would go and shoot a round or two just to make sure its still working good and it never failed me. Over 3 days in Freezing weather with snow to rain on the 3rd day it never got a spot of rust or failed to fire one time. I would shoot 6-8 rouds a day and they all hit where they were saposed to. I love this rifle.
