Help narrow this list down Pls

[Ghetto Guide]

Caliber - 300 WSM,

Im needing help narrowing the list down. I have saved up for quite a while and its time. I have a Swarrow scope 4-14 x 40 already thats going on it. Iv been in and out of all the rabbit holes and have landed here for some help.

Uses:
All around gun. Mostly packing / not much of a truck gun. Lighter weight is preferred for high mountain packing.

I could buy cheaper and have it lightened and new stock or ???

Budget around $2200 and min 24 in barrel

Here is the list:

Christiansen Ridgeline FFT
Kimber Montana
Tikka T3x
Remmington XCR 700, older but new in bx
Browning X Bolt / Hells Canyon
Nossler 48 , (used)

Thanks for any input.

With a $2200 budget you may want to strongly consider a Seekins rifle. Either a Seekins PH2 or (if your budget can stretch to it) a Seekins Element.

I was just on their page doing some research. Just figured out they were close to that price range. Thank you JJ.

Here's a thread on here about them with some feedback from people who own them. They seem to be very well liked.

Seekins Rifles

Well, not the first, nor will it be the last time discussed. Looking into getting a 7PRC, looked at Seekins, Bergera, Savage and a Browning. Keep going back to Seekins as my first choice then Bergera. Read a ton on the forum about seekins and can't find a single complaint on them, are they...

If I was in your shoes I’d buy a classic stainless model 70 and then pick an aftermarket stock that fits you or find a nice used Montana.

I vote tikka superlite. Muzzle brake and optic. Do wanna try a seekins though.
