I’m looking real hard at a Tikka 300 Win. I’ve done lots of searches and keep reading about the short mag length and slow twist. I’ve read that it will stabilize the Nosler AB 200 and the Barnes 175 LRX. These are really the only two bullets I’m interested in. For shots to 600 yards coupled with turrets I don’t think I need a real high bc bullet.
Comparing rifles in the same price range, I cannot find others that offer a faster twist barrel and longer magazine that will allow bullets to be seated to the lands. I had a Winchester Extreme Weather 300 and those handloads with the 200 AB are only .05” longer than SAAMI COL.
I’m looking for a rifle that is light weight, the bolt locks on safe, and has a barrel no longer than 24”.
I’ve owned 4 different Tikkas so I’m pretty confident in their ability to shoot good with minimal load development.
