[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 885052, member: 13632"] You really don't want or need a full on long range rifle for doing some very good shooting to 800ish yards which is what you'll need to be shooting to be dialed in for 600 yard hunting, you can easily get carried away with stocks, barrels and scopes and take a perfect all round hunting rifle with an extended capability and turn it into an unwieldy behemoth!! The 7 mag is fine for elk at 600 yards and going bigger also bring more unnecessary recoil which you'll have to deal with. If your rifle shoots well just make it more functional, stocks change, get it bedded, tune the trigger, trim the bolt stop or whatever is hanging your bolt up and tune a load. I've worked with a couple bone stock Rem 700 ADL 7mags that all they needed was a little tune up and a load and they were good 600 yard hunting rifles. A Vortex PST in the 2.5-10x44 would be awesome for your needs and keeps your rifle functional for the entire 600 yards! [/QUOTE]
