Tikka M695 300WM
Don’t have the rifle combo you mention but I’m sure yours will shoot just fine. 300WM is an accurate round.
I bought this rifle last year used, and when I disassembled it, there were a few areas in the bedding areas that showed it was rubbing, so I relieved those areas and bedded the action and free floated the barrel.
The very first three shots I shot out of it were 150gr Speer w/73gr IMR4831 and they grouped an amazing .3” c to c. Another is 180gr Match King that shot best with 74.5gr of IMR7828 at just over .5” c to c. But I don’t recommend that load as it’s .5gr above book max and shows pressure in my gun. Both of those loads I used .04” bullet jump to the lands.
I use whatever brass I can get my hands on and prep carefully and thoroughly. Weight sort to within 5% diff highest to lowest. And deburr flash holes.
I got a Witt Machine clamp on brake, don’t remember what I paid for it, but their service was good and the brake works well. No muzzle jump with this model cuz of the upward facing ports.
