[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 175066, member: 8486"] Welcome to the crew brother !! Be warned this site can be addictive ! As far as the rifle question I would have thought a hot 7mm or 30 cal would be the go. Maybe 300 rum ? It kind of also depends on what weight restrictions you are setting yourself? How portable does it need to be. If the country is real steep and verticle you may want to drop back to a wsm or saum ? Iam not sure if I would justify a 338 for blacktail ? If the priority was elk I would say 338 definitely. I really depends on what the primary focus animal and range the gun will be used for ? I wouldn't set a big 338 rifle up for elk if 95 % of your hunting are blacktails. That all being said I just got my first custom done and chose 338, but it will almost exclusively be used on 600 lbs deer at 500 and beyond . There are some very helpful people on this forum so stay tuned. They will point you in the right direction. See you on the board. Cheers DUH [/QUOTE]
