[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2490866, member: 118038"] If you can only afford 1 rifle to do all of this, my advice is to go w .300 WM. .300 win mag with heavier bullets in the 180 to 220 gr class will take down any animal in NA though for grizzly Id prefer .338. To minimize recoil, get a good 5 port muzzle brake like the MBM beast, and shoot lower gr bullets like hammers at higher velocities. You can probably take elk w 150 to 180 gr bullets w lower recoil. Lower gr. bullets w a big muzzle brake the .300 win mag will seem like a .270. It will also shoot 1000 yards. The .308 may shoot 1000 yards but the max effective range according to the military is about 800 I think. Its not meant ballistically to be a flat shooting 1000 yard gun. You can aim 3 ft. above a target and hit it at 1300 yards, maybe.....but it certainly is no FClass target rifle for competition, not at 1000 yards. My 2 cents for one rifle to do all the things you mentioned is .300 WM A great muzzle brake is a must for .300 WM, especially for bench and competition. shooting smaller hammers say in 120 to 150 gr you will have very pleasant shooting and can take deer all day long.
