Pulled the trigger on the tikka t3x d-18 vsx cabelas special in 300 wsm with a plan to upgrade to a manners stock eventually. It is a stainless barrel with a cerakote and 5/8 thread. Someone from my work commutes from oregon and he said I can order ammo to his house and he’ll bring it up once a...
Thanks for the help everyone. For anyone researching this in the future. Baretta confirmed that it is stainless under the cerakote. They also said it is a thicker than normal cerakote and the only worries you should have is if youre ocean hunting you should a brush through the barrel once in...

So should I opt for a 300 wm in the tikka then? I have 180 grain accubonds and 200 grain terminal ascents. I love the accubonds bc they stopped this moose in its tracks. I have also been able to find 200 grain eldx if I look around. I also have a case of 300 prc eldx with no prc

I’m really considering getting a 20 inch barrel but I am worried about muzzle blast and lost velocity with factory ammo. I don’t really plan on hand loading and have barnes vortx 165 ttsx factory ammo. Am I right to worry about lost velocity and fireballs? I’ve tried researching but Ive been...

Iso of a 300 wsm or a 300 prc. Not too sure what I want. Ideally stainless/cerakoted lighter weight hunting rifle. Price range is up in the air. Always looking for a deal
