HuntHarder Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Bang for the buck, Tikka is really hard to beat. What is your price range? There are some great Semi-Customs out there but they are north of $1500.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted March 23, 2017 What is the definition of top of the line? There was a write up done on an out of the box Savage that put 3 rounds into 2.5ish inches at 700+ after load work-up. They are ugly actions, but form follows function.

KaibabHunter Report post Posted March 23, 2017 I was very happy with my tikka t3 lite. Did a lot of research last year and that's what I chose. Shoots Barnes TTSX 165 factory pretty well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azpredator@work Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Are you asking ammo or rifle? I'm reading you want ammo advice, but may be wrong... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azguy Report post Posted March 23, 2017 I did a lot of research before I bought by Tikka T3 lite in 300wm. For the money I could spend it was a good fit. I couldn't be happier with the gun. Great factory adjustable trigger too. As for factory ammo. I bought 4 different boxes (different manufacturers) and shot all of them. Believe it or not, the gun shot Remington Core Loks 180gr the best. Haven't looked back since. But from what I know, you have to figure what what ammo your gun agrees with the most and go with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted March 23, 2017 About $2000 for rifle itself. I do like Beretta products. I do not reload, and likely will not go that road, as I do not shoot very often. Now if $400 to $500 more, would be okay as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjl2010 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 For $2000-2500 you might be able to have a few of the builders on this site build you a semi custom if you wouldn't mind going away from factory. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 23, 2017 If you are going to shoot factory rounds, at least find a good match grade one, like the Federal Gold Medal Match. You might get lucky and find some others that shoot well too, but it might take some searching and shooting. A good rifle with great rounds will shoot as well as a great rifle with lousy rounds. And don't forget glass and mounting options. You can't hit what you can't see, and you can't hit what you can't dial to repeatedly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
