I'm looking at buying a 300 Win. Mag and am looking for advice as to what fellow Gun Nutz hunters would call the best of these five rifles listed below.......

1. Pre 1964 Model 70 Winchester
2. Brno 550
3. Tikka 695
4. Browning Safari
5. Sako 85 synthetic stainless

Any advice would be greatly appreciated so let me have it.......
Thanks.

Honestly, each one of these rifles you picked are awesome, and neither one would , under MOST circumstances , fail you in any way.
They are top of the line, and the only true answer is "The one that fits your shoulder, neck, and arm length and allows you the most natural sight picture with the least fatigue. The only way to find the best would be to beg, borrow, or steal one of each to try, make friends at the range and even hang out there. Hard to "come across" some of those rifles though as they wouldn't be used all the time I imagine.
 
If you dont mind the weight the Pre 64 is a phenominal rifle ... other than that the Sako. I dont personally believe the other 3 rifles are in the same class.
 
Same as mentioned above- What fits YOU best!!

For me would be a Sako (m75 or m85)---me, I ordered in a new sako m75ss 300WM back in 1997 and never looked back till the rifle bug bit me in 2004....still use my 300WM today along with my good hunting buddy that ordered in the same one back then also. The Tikka in the 695 would be another great choice!

180gr Accubonds or TTSX's would be my bullet of choice to reload. Winchester Supreme ammo in either the 180gr Accubonds or the Elite XP3's get my first vote.
 
People still use the 300 win mag?



blasphemy!!! ;) My main hunting rifle is a stainless Howa 1500 with the hogue rubber stock in .300wm. Its dropped 2 moose, 2 bears, and 5 caribou over the last few years. And not much , even up here, that is up to the challenge of a 200 grainer screamin down on them from my Howa. Hard to find, but decent guns if you can find em!!!
