[QUOTE="Fitz, post: 340101, member: 22058"] I agree that someone just needs to get out there and shoot. My question is: Is there a gun that will grow with the shooter? Currently, I have a 30-06 I use for close range hunting. Actually, I prefer bow for deer... I also just received my grampa's Rem 700 6mm. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been fired in over 30 years. I'm looking to get into more long range hunting. I'm not looking for the top of the line or even really custom made. But if I buy a new gun, I would like one that will grow with as I get more experiences, i.e. if I buy a 300 WM/RUM and get accurate at 600 yards, would I be able to push the limits and shoot an elk at 800-900? And when I burn out that barrel, will I be able to mod it to hold 338 lapua for moose? I don't see many long range shots over here on the east coast. But when I'm back home in Utah or visiting Alaska, I've seen Elk/Moose on the other side of the valley at around 800-1000 yards and wished I could take them. Is the way I'm thinking not possible/logical? [/QUOTE]
