[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 53944, member: 808"] Hi elkhunter, I am guessing you are talking about a 338 Win mag. If so, there are better options. Here is my advice, but there are certainly some more knowledgeable than I. Get a decent 300 or 338 RUM - especially if you plan to use it for elk. Something with a target barrel preferably. Top it with a good repeatable scope with target knobs on a long range base. Some specifics might be a Sendero with the Leupold Vari-X III of your choice with target knobs. Cannot go wrong with one of the Long Range Tactical versions. If you plan on using this to learn with - and elk are not specifically what you are after, look at getting a new or used 308 to learn with. Cheaper, but same principles apply. Start working up loads. Think high B.C, larger bullets. Get a good accurate load built and zeroed at 100 yards and read Dave King's response to axe in this forum for using your knobs. Practice, practice, practice. What part of Colorado are you in? [/QUOTE]
