I'm wanting to put together a precision hunting rig and have narrowed the caliber down to 300WM. I think it has the combination of ballistics I'm looking for and I'm set up to reload. I say precision hunting, rather than long range hunting, simply because I would limit shots on game to 500 or 600 yards. I know that doesn't really qualify as long range to some.
In any event, I'm kind of torn between a couple of rifle options. I started with the Rem 700 in mind and thought the Tactical Long Range model might work well. Since getting a couple of TRGs, I've added Sakos to the list. The TRG is too heavy for my tastes as a hunting rifle, but I would consider something in their 85 series. Maybe a Finnlight? The difference in price between the two is only a few hundred.
So Rem 700 TLR vs Sako 85 Finnlight in 300WM. Opinions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
