Hi,
I'm interested in a stock rifle for long range in 300wsm. LR rifles in that caliber are rare.

The Tikka varmint has a silly 1:11 twist, nice for a 308 but not for a 300 shooting 190gr + bullets.

So I've been checking online for a while for a x-bolt max long range, but never found one chambered in 300wsm. Anyone seen one?

Or maybe buy a Rem 700 sps in 300wsm for the bolt size and have a custom heavy barrel in 300wsm installed?
Your thought?
 
Seen one on sale here recently. I think North Pro in Saskatoon.

300PRC with a 8 twist.

I'd go with that with Lapua 300PRC brass on the horizon.

300WSM......sorry haven't seen one either.
 
1:11 twist is no determent in my experience up to at least 208 grain bullet in a 300wm , a 300wsm is not much difference in performance.

At rebarrel time I will go with a 1:9 twist to take advantage of the >/=230 gn class bullets.

The rifle is a Tikka Tactical, a Varmint is very close, has held 0.4 moa (5 shots) 208gn A-max and 0.8 moa (10 shots) 185 gn Juggernauts at club 1000 yard events.
 
I work at a Browning dealer and just checked the website and there isn't any stock in North America for this rifle, all it shows is they are on order.
