High velocity, tough game, heavy for caliber Barnes!

Don't cut corners on the scope! Spend less on the rifle.

Get the Ruger, U won't B sorry!

If U R not having issues with recoil, there's no real need to go to a smaller diameter bullet, unless you're just bored. The 30 caliber has been a versatile caliber for a century and there are so many quality bullets available, I don't see a need to go smaller. You can kill an elk with a .22...

Although "Orange Camo" is not legal in CO, during rifle season. It should be legal in the archery season, as no orange is required for archery hunting. If what we've always been told is correct, animals don't see colors that well, it may be an acceptable alternative.

If U R not overly attached to that 7/08, I would encourage U to consider a more effective cartridge, as elk R big, tough animals. They typically don't offer the ideal shot, move frequently, and now that there R other hunters every 500 yards, you need to get them down to stay. If 7mm is your...

The problem with light weight bullets is that they run out of energy real quick when they encounter resistance. Elk are big tough animals capable of soaking up those light weight bullets. I would like to see you use the 280 with at least a 168, as there are no readily available rests to shoot...

I would like to encourage you to NOT use that small of caliber on elk. Over the last thirty some years, I've killed or been in on many elk harvests. These are a big TOUGH animal and I "Personally" believe that .270 is the minimum bullet diameter that should be allowed, although the DOW says a...

I must defend the Zeiss scopes, here, I know two people who blindly went out and "Over Paid" for the Swarovski glass, only to not be able to discern any difference at any light conditions. They are both top of the line equipment, but someone has to pay for all that advertising, which is the end...

Depending on which "Moose or Bear", U speak of, the 338 to 375 wood B my choice. The 375 H&H is not that bad to shoot, especially wif a brake. If U R talking Shiras moose and Black bears, then 300 mags will do.

.338 will carry more energy @ those distances, assuming you get it "Ripping" to start out with. There are some incredibly high BC bullets in .338!

Put a brake on the 300, stay below 180 gr. bullets, and limit your shots to 300 yds. and you'll B fine.

My wife has a model 70 Featherweight, 7mm WSM, that shoots great, with moderate recoil. It's been shortened and has a trap style recoil pad, handles like dream, and shoots the first round, on a clean barrel, to the same point of impact as the second, third and so forth. I take it on "pack in...

I had one get in my trigger assembly. When I closed the bolt, it went off and hit the support rod on my sky screen, kinda left me somewhat disenchanted!
