[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2390137, member: 114633"] 7mm mag Tikka or Bergara, Sig tango4 4-16 scope will leave you room for rings inside of $1500. 7mag is really the min to kill elk, moose, bear at 400yds with copper bullets. But if you went heavier it would be less fun to shoot out to 1200yds (unless only 10-30 shots are fired) Could buy a heavier 300wm but that wouldn't be that fun to carry up where the elk are. Sorry guys, 280ai, 6.5prc are sooooo popular that you can't find ammo on the shelf for them even now. 400yds with copper bullets rules out: 308 6.5cm 270win 7-08 25-06. While all those calibers can kill elk at 400yds the copper bullet thing kinda chops ya off around 300-350 for most. Also 7rem mag can be downloaded with AA5744 or h4895 to shoot like a 7-08 and "bang away" at steel/paper. Also, while alot can be done with 7mag in handloading, you can mostly always find 7mag on the shelf even in a pandemic and often even find Barnes vortex ammo for hunting. [/QUOTE]
