It took me 9 months but I finally picked a rifle. I went with the Savage Tactical in 300wm. Out the door including dros it was $515.

Nice. Post up a pic when you can. Keep the serial number out of the pic. B.

Nice!
The Savage won’t let you down - basically everything is $2 to $4 per shot now, might as well get a big boom out of it!

Nice rifle! I have a Howa heavy barrel in 300WM simply because the deal was too good to pass up.

That generic picture has a single sling swivel and a Magpul magazine, but the one I bought in October has two sling swivels like in the youtube, and a steel Accurate Mag.

I need help chosing a rifle. I have about $500 to spend. I would like to have one with a detachable magazine, heavy threaded barrel and I think I want it in 300wm. I currently reload plinking ammo for 223 and pistol calibers.

Highly unlikely you will find 300wm ammo in for a year to come. More likely you will find 223, 308 ammo as it is more common and sell faster. Easily buy a 223 or 308 now days.

Mine is like the one you described.

When I went to start dros I found some for $1.85 a round. I don't know how much it was last year.

Handload, handload, have you heard
Reloading really is the word
Drives the antis up the wall
And yes, it is the proper call

Handload, handload, do it right
Now that is how we win the fight
Without ammo there's no gun
So that is how you have some fun!

OP, congrats on getting your rifle. Now, get some reloading components and get to making some ammo! :-)

Wat? There have been a number of suggestions that are perfectly fine, like the Savage and Mossberg Patriot. Tibosaurus Rex did a Mossberg project and it shot fine, moa.

I bought a Mossberg Patriot during last year's Black Friday sales, just to play with. Out of the box it was a 3 -4 MOA gun, and it took a lot of gymnastics and tinkering to get it to shoot ~1 MOA. Hand loading, pillar bedding, and new scope mount blocks were the final solution, and the way the rifle is built did not make that an easy task. I know it is an anecdotal sample of one, but the way the stock and magazine well is built is pretty stupid, and does not lend itself at all to accurizing.
