help me pick a rifle for 300 WSM
This is the place to get ideas and opinions so here goes.
I want to get a 300 WSM. Now the question is which rifle. I want a wood stock. I would like to have it in a 19/20 inch barrel -- but would go to regular length if that is not possible. I want to have a ligther gun and understand the trade off with the shorter barrel and weigth.Again wood stock is a must even though I know I can drop the weight with a synthetic stock. Price - not really an issue.
So what are your ideas?

The model 7 is going to have a 22 inch barel in the magmum chamberings.
You aren't goint to find a factory rifle chambered in 300wsm that is going to have a short barrel like that.
You can get a Remington LTR in 300SAUM with a 20 inch barrel.

Tikka makes the T3 Battue model in the 300 WSM with the 19-11/16” long barrel and wood stock, except it has iron sights... Check the link for more info... www.sako.fi

I'd check into the Kimber 8400 WSM's. They do have a 24 inch barrel though, but are light in weight. They are finely crafted rifles and shoot well with varied ammo. You could do alot worse my friend. Good luck in your selection.

I guess I dont understand why you want a short barrel.To get all that there is to get a 24in barrel would be better. Mine has a 26 in tube and it is just fine with me.
