[QUOTE="liltank, post: 613557, member: 13275"] While Ron like the Sendero, I am a Savage fan. 300WSM, 7WSM, 300Win Mag, 300 RUM, 7SAUM, 7Rem Mag, will all do what you need. The SAUM, 300WSM, and Win Mag are going to be the best options if you are considering a lot of target shooting. They will be a little easier on the barrels. If you have any plans of going past 800yds for Elk, then you need to consider the bigger powder capacity rounds. To 800 you could probably even get away with a 260, 7mm-08, 284 Win, 280/AI. The only reason I haven't added the 270Win, and 270WSM is that you will need to make sure you stay with heavier bullets, and they really excel in barrels not offered by most manufacturers. Though I do believe the 270WSM with a 150 Berger or Hornady SST will get the job done. This will get you started. Do your homework on all of these calibers and see which one suits your fancy. If you want to get a Remington or Savage action and put one together, then that just opens up other doors. Welcome to LRH. [/QUOTE]
