Helping a friend reason through some factory rifle choices for a LR hunting rifle. Right now, given his optics and rifle, he pretty much limits himself to 300. He'd like to upgrade both to give him legitimate chance closer to 500. Most platforms I've seen in the true LR space are semi- or full house custom.
He's looking at the Tikka 270 WSM (24.4") and a turret scope, probably in the Vortex/Leupold/Zeiss Conquest realm. (He's looked at 308 & 270 Win so far but is now taking hard look at the 270 WSM.)
Anybody gone down a similar decision path?
