[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2991003, member: 109378"] Actually, for a good budget rifle (IMO), I've seen several Savage 110 mountain light weights preform very well., cost about a grand. come with Proof research carbon wrapped, threaded barrel, adjustable carbon fiber stock and trigger tech trigger which is actually pretty nice. 7 PRC would be a great Elk Cartridge, so would a plain jane 30-06. I also like the 6.5 PRC and 6.8 Western if you want a newfangled rig. FWIW, after decades of custom and higher end rifles, the most accurate rifle I now own is an off the shelf Browing X-Bolt White Gold medallion rifle with maple stock and octagonal stainless 24" barrel in 6.5 PRC. I got it just because I wanted it. Once zeroed, I tried several factory brands just to narrow down the bullet selection for reloading (I'm lazy like that). The second box of factory ammo, Winchester 142 NABLR shot a .447", five shot group turning in 2850 FPS...I called that good. [/QUOTE]
