[QUOTE="MTGEEZER, post: 2101903, member: 109472"] Hey, Trad, another welcome from Montana! Like you, I grew up with a bow or gun in my hand most of the time. Killed my 1st elk with a compound bow (cow), then taught myself to build my own longbows and then take-down recurves. The only bull elk I have ever taken was with my 62 lb completely home built take-down recurve at 18 yards. I think you have picked a fine cartridge to start your journey into rifles. Shoot it often with the best glass you can afford (if you are like me me, it may have to be middle of the road stuff; just ask these great guys here for recommendations by stating your intended use and budget). There are many threads on this subject on this forum already so do some homework. One last thing, you may have heard of "the rabbit hole"? It aint no rabbit hole- it's a cavern and once inside, you'll find a bunch of old farts like me at the bottom! Come on in!!! MTGEEZER [/QUOTE]
