[QUOTE="Good, post: 518967, member: 18866"] Ballistically, I like the big 338s with the Norma at the top of the list. In fact, sp6x6 has an almost perfect recipe. Only thing I'd change is the scope as I'm not a huge fan of leopold, it's a nice scope, I'd just rather something different although the Leupy may be the best for weight savings. Around $2k for the Vortex Razor would do me just fine. That's what I'd do with your budget. I don't feel the scope is where the money should be spent so I'd pick the Razor vs. the US Optics or Premiers or whatever, and I'm a fan of FFP, so for the price, the Razor gets my vote. Keep in mind binos and range finder though. If you can't find the critter, the best gun in the world is useless. Good binos are where the money should be spent. Must have, IMHO: Swarovski 15x56 binos + tripod Swaro or Leica LRF Kestrel I pod touch Not as necessary: High quality less power binos like Nikon or your choice of 8x or 10x42s. I feel they're necessary, but they don't have to be top tier... [/QUOTE]
