    How far out will you kill an elk by yourself?

    A cow is still MEAT in the freezer. You had a COW tag ,unless you could shoot eather the cow was your only choice. Meat in freezer is better than tag soup. Cut it into smaller pieces/ quarters. I packed a moose out that way several times and over 1.5 miles, I was 65 . Or get a game cart.

    Improving the 308 Win performance

    I disagree with you as I have taken caribou at 400 with no problem.plus moose near that range. I also know the 308 can take a elk at 600 yards,helped pack it out. The right bullet and someone that knows his rifle. The longest sniper kill with a 308 is 2700 yards. You can look it up. I agree...

    7mm-08 Bullet Choice for Stone Sheep inside of 500 yards

    On sheep it can go from 50 yards to 700 for a good shot. Some times it's what the country/mountains will give you. In side 500 very doable . Good luck

    7mm-08 Bullet Choice for Stone Sheep inside of 500 yards

    Out of your 7-08 l would pick one of the blistic tips 140 or 150. Which shoots best in your rifle. My nephew uses 140 barnes out of a 270 sm and gets sheep out to 550 yards. Lower volosity from yours at that range go with lighter built bullet.

    Setting zero for hunting rifle with turrets?

    I m shooting a 300 WM with 180 gr at 3000fps. I set mine for point blank for the animals I hunt most . That way for a quick shot I m not trying to turn diel, just point and shoot. Anything past 300 yards I have more time to set diel and set up for shot.
