[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1303721, member: 97196"] I am shooting 200gr Berger Hybrids in a Tikka T3 300WM. It is the most accurate factory rifle I have ever purchased. I had a brake installed before it was ever fired and I put it on an aftermarket stock (guess that's not entirely factory but no other work done). I am shooting at 3000 ft but have no stability issues shooting at 2850 fps. The drawback is the magazine/ejection port size limiting case capacity (deeper bullet seating depth required) but it has no problem with the 1/4" jump to the lands. Would not expect a problem shooting 180gr factory loads. I never fired it with the factory stock but with the current setup I would have no problem taking a 1000 yard shot (based on shooter capability). Many good options available but I don't think he will be disappointed if choosing the Tikka 300 WM and can usually find them at reasonable cost. Muzzle brake would be an essential addition for me with 300 WM and start with a proven long range scope/mounts. You can purchase a good scope with the money spent in ammo trying to dial in a marginal one. [/QUOTE]
