300 WM advice

[Brent21]

First I have several rifles in different calibers. I understand that the 300WM has recoil plus some. I’m wanting this round for hunting out west or maybe doing a hunt up north for bear. I have narrowed down my rifle to 3 guns and would like some additional advice or other options in this price range. I really like the Browning Hell’s Canyon McMillian, the Seekins Havok, and the Bergara Premire Series. I like the fact it is built one at a time and comes with paperwork showing its grouping. I’m sure this topic has been beat to death and for this I apologize. I’m new here and would love some thoughts and or smart comments.

The Havak has no printed target.

We have shot a bunch browning they all shoot well. We have a hell's canyon in creedmore it's a shooter 1/2 min if you keep it clean. Browny's do copper up pretty bad but they really shoot well for off the shelf guns

The Havak has no printed target.

That was in regards to the Bergera.

I’d delete the Bergara from your list, add in the Christensen MPR, and then flip a coin.

I take it you are not a fan of the Bergera! Now I will have to look at the MPR.My only concern I have seen with the Christensen was issues with their barrels. I understand they are now milling their own, so maybe that issue is resolved. It looks like what I wanted for my next gun after the 300 WM. I then wanted to buy a chassis gun probably in the 6.5 PRC. This may kill two birds with one stone!

The Christensen rifles of today aren’t the same as they were over a decade ago when they first started doing carbon wrapped barrels. Yes they sucked back then but they have come a long way. The rifles they’re putting out today are excellent.

It is very interesting to say the least. Maybe I’m getting old but it just seems strange hunting with a chassis style weapon. With that being said it could allow me spend much more on my optics instead of thinking about buying that style rifle next.
