[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 108572, member: 340"] Here’s the details. I was drawn for an elk tag, and currently my largest bore rifle is 243 win. This is a good problem to have. I’ve narrowed my caliber choice to 300wsm. I shoot left handed, so factory rifle options are limited. I’ve narrowed that to either: Savage 11: [URL]http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/11TROPHYHUNTERXP[/URL] Tikka T3 Lite: [URL]http://www.cabelas.com/product/Tikka-T-Lite-Stainless-Steel-Bolt-Action-Rifles/706383.uts[/URL] I really want to like the Tikka but: -It’s an entire pound lighter than the Savage. Great to carry, maybe not so great to shoot. Considering I currently don’t really mind lugging around a nearly 20# (loaded, scope, bipod, suppressor) AR10, I think that extra pound helps more than it hurts. -Twist is 1:11 on the Tikka. Savage is 1:10. I’d like to be able to shoot 200+ gr bullets – at least I think I do… - I know I love the Savage accutrigger (have one on my 22-250) no experience with the Tikka trigger. So please comments on: -- Personal experience with either models. -- Twist rate vs bullet selection. -- Other factors I may have overlooked. [/QUOTE]
