[QUOTE="el matador, post: 944438, member: 12193"] 300 win mag is popular for a reason! It fits your criteria perfectly. I would prefer a .338 for strictly elk but since you want a multi-purpose gun the .300 gets my vote. A 300 WSM is still a great cartridge but you give up the ability to push the heavier bullets well. Is your budget $2400 for rifle only or for scope and rifle? The Remington 700 5R is a decent long range gun for under $1200. Snowy Mountain will sell you a semi-custom Paladin for around $2500. Other than that I'd probably get a Remington 700 of some kind and have it rebarreled with action trued. For that you're looking somewhere around 1200-1500 bucks. [/QUOTE]
