Re: 300 win mag
If I got a barreled action then I would need a chassis for it. I think that would put me way over budget right ? I know 2000 is not a lot for a quality rifle but can't justify spending 5000 for another rifle. Sold my last 300 win and wish I had not. That open spot in my safe is bothering me a lot.
I do have a couple rem 700's would it be better to get one changed to 300 win. ???

Re: 300 win mag
If I had a 2K budget, I would probably buy a 5R and a bunch of reloading components.
Hope this helps!

I had a sako trg in .300. Was a great rifle and other than adding pricey sako accessories you may be able to find a lightly used rifle for your price point. Mine was a 1/2 MOA gun at just about any distance if I was up to it.

I agree with this statement, and I will also say the 700 "police" if you can live with the HS stock.
They go for about $1000.00
Throw in a badger detachable magazine for around $350, and a US Optics scope. Youre all set out to 1500!

Yeah my dad actually used to work at Bass Pro. It was pretty nice getting discounts on everything. I pass by there on my way to and from school everyday so I'm always in there looking around.

Re: 300 win mag
I have a rem 700 in 30-06 what would it cost to change to 300 win mag. My stock and trigger are fine so I can keep that. True the action, new barrel, bedding and bolt if necessary . Just a ball park figure on the high side. Not going to hold you on it. If possible....thanks....

That's pretty easy. This one fits the bill perfectly.

Re: 300 win mag
I'd to a Rem. 700 Police of 5R in the 1k range. They both sport decent factory accuracy, and if you don't like the HS stock, you can sell it. They usually go for around $250 - then you can put the remaining $1250 into another stock, scope base, rings, etc...
Just my opinion, but there are a lot more add-ons for the Remington 700 than there are for Savages. If you want to do more later-on down the road, you'll have somewhere to go with the Remmy.

Re: 300 win mag
You can't go wrong with any of the rifles listed thus far.
I like my 700p. For what I paid, it works well.
5 at 150~, I may have pulled the last 2 to open the group up because the rain started coming down pretty hard. Either way, not bad for me.
Adjusted my new scope after the first shot, next 4 went into a nice group at 100.
My father was with me when I shot the above target and asked me how it shot. I adjusted 2 clicks to the right, and told him I could take the top off of a small bic lighter at 100 without hitting the plastic......first shot
Although I don't have pics on my phone of groups, my sendero will do equally as well. I'm a big fan of Remington's for what you pay.

Re: 300 win mag
I am a big remmy fan, with that said, the Savage 110BA is hard to beat, if a remington 700 I would also say 5R!

Re: 300 win mag
All good sugestions here. My vote goes 5R though. I have one in .300 win mag, added a muzzle brake and adjustable cheek and I'm already shooting .75 moa groups. Not bad for my first precision rifle.

Re: 300 win mag
I would scrimp and save just a little bit more and then buy a Sako TRG 42.
Spending just 4 or 5 hundred more will get you a top notch, non compromise rifle.
A TRG is never a bad choice.
