[QUOTE="ATH, post: 324172, member: 1656"] You would be well-served with a quality factory rifle to fit your current needs while allowing you to sae some cash toward your dedicated long-range boomer. What you describe is exactly the search I went through. I settled on a Remington Sendero in 300WM. WSM is another option, but you need a custom gun to get all the advantages out of the WSM. There is nothing wrong with a 7mmRM/7mmWSM but personally I think elk are tough and I wanted a bigger bullet. I don't think there is a "right" answer to that one, it comes down to choice. This rifle is about at the limit where I can shoot as much as I want and not be affected by the recoil. I see some recommending 338RUM and the like, now those are great long range rounds but I would not want to shoot one any amount with no brake. And I hate brakes, until I'm at a place where I plan to consistently shoot 1000+ yds I see no need to shoot a cartridge that requires one. Though I do enjoy hearing the reports of those that do own them. [/QUOTE]
