(Yet) All I can go buy is what he said, and I know he uses a 300 Ultra Mag for his gun.

I do think the 110 does come with a muzzle break... Most people have told me that the semi-auto's are not as accurate as the bolt action Savages?? All I know is I can't afford to have 300 Bazillion guns like most of you. I have 1 Shotgun for birds, and Deer (Have 2 barrels 1 for Birds/Skeet and a Rifled Slug barrel for deer) I do have 2 .22 rifles My "first" gun and one I take my grand kids out to shoot with. Then I have a couple of Pistols for my CCW and that it... I need "one" gun now that will cover "All" other hunting/shooting needs for now, and I want to someday get a M4 type gun in the .233 just to take to the range with my grand-kids to practice with Plinking... (in a few years if I can afford it) So, again, if your talking about the Browning BAR, is that gun is more accurate than the Savage 110BA at 500 yards +++??? And by the time I put a muzzle brake and recoil pad on it what would be the cost? Aprox? And would the 06 reach out to lets say 1000 yards and be a "Great" knockdown Elk or anything gun, if 500 was the "Minimum"?? As again, I don't know excatly what the yardage would be... So I need something that will work for any "Long-Range" shot for anything in North-America... Then I don't have to worry about not having enough gun for the task, and have to buy another gun because I didn't choose the right one on this gun purchase... I just need to find a way to reduce the recoil of the 300. Mag... I think the majority of people said I need the 300.Mag for long distance "Elk" or anything, some say 338.LM or some said 7mm-mag, few others said as you the 30-06, or 308. or some even said 270. or the 270wsm. Then a few had some others I don't know, Maybe Russian cal. or something. But I think I'm staying with the 300.mag, but want to find the "lowest-Recoil" **Accurate** gun out there.(Without spending a Bazillion Dollars) Can't spend over $2,000. on gun as the Scope I want is around $1,200. Extra And I need that scope.... If I do good on this hunt I may also do some Mule-Deer with him as well as other Hunting out here...
