[QUOTE="Tragik, post: 1437324, member: 105059"] Well I'm not going to leave the 6.5x47 at the gun safe - it's my range gun. I never said anything about hunting with the 6.5x47, let alone hunting with it at 500+ yards. I would agree that it would be arrogant to shoot an elk w/ that caliber at that range. With that said, whether it be a 7 SS, 7 SAUM, 7 WSM, 7 Rem Mag, etc., the ballistics are easily capable of ethically taking an elk at 1,000 yards. The ethics of that shot are based on the hunter's skill and the wind, regardless of his skill. Thanks for the feedback on the scope - certainly a diversity of opinions here making it a difficult choice! [/QUOTE]
