I know a guy that has a 300 WSM in a Savage rifle... can't remember the model # and I am too lazy to go to the Savage website to look it up, but it was a laminated stock and a stainless barrel. Nice looking gun topped with a Leupold scope. He is very satisfied with it and said it shot very well. Sounds like u have a similar rifle and scope- A fine hunting unit in a good caliber
