Affordable factory rifle in 300 WSM?

[MichalS]

I fancy a magnum, but want to do it with reasonable budget. Is there a factory rifle worth looking into in 300 Winchester Short Magnum?

From what I read, with Remington You have to swap half of the rifle for it to start shooting. I found a Savage 12 in 300wsm - maybe thats a better option?

I think your info is out of date by around 20 years , they did turn out some crap many years a go but today they are comparable with everything else  out there , some make the daft mistake of comparing new £450 Remington's with £1200 Tikka`s , obviously the Tikka will be better , the Remingtons with 5R barrels are exceptionally accurate for factory rifles.

Update - I'm in the proccess of ordereing a Sabatti simikar to one I've been shooting in 308. Will update if/when the rifle will be ready.
