[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 867419, member: 55580"] As for a caliber, I think you have one of the better options in a 300 RUM. There is not a whole lot of room to step down from there to keep a 1,000 yard elk rifle. You could go to a 300 Win Mag or one of the larger 7mm's, but I don't know that it is going to be a huge reduction in recoil. Is you current 300 RUM too heavy? Is the recoil too much for you? Maybe some more details on why you want to move on from the RUM would help. As far as a production rifle you can modify, a Savage or Remington 700 would be a good place to start, lot of modifications available for both. [/QUOTE]
