[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 179393, member: 9775"] My first rifle will just be to learn on. I will not be doing any long range hunting for at least a couple of years. I don't see the use of having 2 rifles, the money spent on the second I could put into a good quality scope or stock etc., so I would like a caliber I could use when I go elk hunting. I only need average hunting distances for now, for me that is 300 yards max. I understand that this rifle will be heavy, not to concerned about that. A suggestion to me on this sight was to go with the 308 and then when I was ready I could have it chambered for a 300 wsm. That idea sounds pretty good. I am leaning toward getting a Savage 12fv 308 and replacing the stock with something that is adjustable. This idea isn't set yet though, so if anyone has a better idea I am all ears. If I gain the skill for long range hunting, elk will always be the main hunt. [/QUOTE]
