[QUOTE="scdogman, post: 2148868, member: 27553"] I got a good ole hunting rifle that I bought of $250. Wooden stock savage 110 in 270 win. Replaced the trigger and nothing else. Thing shoots the 145 eldx at 2980 out to 1100 yards. Super accurate gun. When I joined this forum, I was told I needed at least a 7mm to hunt elk. I bought the 7mm and was banging steel. Week before the hunt, the scope on the 7mm acts up. Out comes the ole 270 win and 150 grain nosler partition. Cow elk dropped and gave one leg kick. 282 yard shot. In general, I think some of the old rifles are under utilized. [/QUOTE]
