Of those 3 tikka gets my vote. I've got some older brownings that were my favorite till I got my first tikka. Browning makes a nice gun tho and wouldn't be scared of it at all. Christensen gets too many mixed reviews for me to try

My first real spotter was a vortex viper 80mm, pretty much hated it from the moment I got it. Finally saved up enough to go with with a meopta s2 and am much much happier. Long story short a spotter is definitely an item buy once cry once imo.....
If nothing else buy used, that'll roughly allow...
The fury has the same glass as vipers fyi. I've never looked at the two side x side, but most say the sig has the edge. But they are going to be quite similar. If not needing the ballistics part of the rangefinder the meopta is hands down a better choice

Not much factory ammo out there that wouldn't work on an elk at that range, really comes down to what shoots well in your gun and what you can even get right now. Get a couple boxes and see what shoots.
Personally I'd look for 180gr nosler accubond or partitions. Barnes ttsx, nosler etip...
There are plenty of threads out there about short barreled magnums, long story short there are plenty of us doing it with success.
Will your 28nos lose some speed if shortened to 20"?? You bet. Will the elk care?? Not a bit
Often the losses are less than people think they will be especially...
Just curious have you ever shot a gun with a suppressor??
I hope to never shoot a gun without one again, total game changer for me

I've got a semi-custom tikka getting put together that I'm pretty excited about. Been accumulating parts for a couple years so will be fun to get to pull the trigger finally. Other than that I finally have a kuiu superdown coat in my gear pile that I look forward to using. Nothing else planned...
As mentioned the tikka is an excellent option in a 300wsm, wouldn't do the longs in it tho. The fierce and seekins are excellent options. Keep in mind if you're looking at a steel barrel it's pretty easy to cut off a couple inches and rethread it if needed. If you talked to seekins maybe they...
I've got the 724. Not shooting off it but handles my 82mm spotter very well even in the wind. Have considered buying a small lightweight setup for the trips where I just have binos cause the 7 is more than necessary for that. But overall I put it through a fair bit of abuse and works as good as...
I just sent one via usps last week. Cost me $62 with $2000 insurance. The insurance was basically half of the cost. Had it in a big pelican case so wasn't small or light. I thought it was a decent deal

Maven has the better value hands down imo. Is the swaro glass better?? Yes. Will the swaros have better resale?? Definitely yes. Are the swaros worth the much bigger price tag?? Only for you to decide.
Maven has a cool demo program thatd be worth trying if you're on the fence, especially since...
I think its still worth trying if that's the bullet you want. I have a 300wsm tikka with same twist and it shot the 200gr terminal ascent the best out of all the 180-200gr that I tried. It also like the 185 bergers. Never tried the precision hunter as I didn't want to use the eld-x. But every...
I have limited experience with them on game so far. But building a 7 saum that will be throated for the hammers and went back and forth on heavy vs light. Settled on a mid-weight to hopefully be a good balance of bc and speed. I'm also doing a 20" barrel so just not going to get the speeds that...
Chill out!
I took it as you saying they simply aren't doing a 7 prc because they couldnt get 3200fps. I'm just saying there will be a 7prc but in a long aciton and will most likely reach those speeds. I'm not comparting apples to oranges, simply just saying what the 7prc is, not what it "could...
The 7lrm pushes 180s at just as much speed. Still don't understand what you're getting at.
Maybe couldn't get a short action 7 in those speeds but darn sure can a long, and the 7 prc will be a long
