[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2138319, member: 19988"] I use a 260 Rem as my go to hunting rifle. Does everything I need. Deer, Elk, Moose. People think they need a 50 cal to drop elk. ( Just saying ) shoot what your comfortable with. I choose accuracy over a bigger gun any day of the week. At least I can put my bullet where I want. I’ve shot big guns, CheyTec, Barrett, .600 Nitro Express, SAW, grenade launchers, to name a few. They just not needed for hunting or long range shooting. The best gun to shoot is the one your most comfortable with. In that video I shared was from a father and son who started this sight. It used to be a hunting show called Best Of The West. These people broke off from one another and now there are several hunting shows like this. Yes I watch them. No I did not learn to shoot from them or YouTube channels. But to say a 300 WM or 338 caliber rifle is needed to kill a elk at 1000 yards is absurd. If that’s what you want to shoot because your comfortable with it that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. I would not hesitate to shoot a elk out to 1250 yards with my 260 Rem. I’m not saying there are not better choices. I’m just saying it can be done because I have done it. I have this saying. “ The hardest person to prove wrong is yourself “ You can not lie to yourself or manipulate yourself. You only know truth and facts about yourself. I’m not trying to offend anyone by any means. People may not have the same beliefs or see eye to eye with one another, but that’s what makes life interesting. Versatility is the best solution to everything. [/QUOTE]
