[QUOTE="ricknolan, post: 181217, member: 9824"] [SIZE=2]You guys have really got me to thinking about this long range hunting. Sounds like my 270 wsm will do fine for deer out to 4-500 yards. How about an elk gun with the same range limitations, 4-500 yards. I have a Model 70 - 300 win mag with a 4x12x40 vxi that shoots 180 grain Partitions very well (.5 - .75 moa) but I would like to toy around with something new. Since I really like the Tikka T3 lite this is what I am thinking. Either get a 300 wsm or 338 mag with a 4.5x12 xviii with the B&C reticle. Put on a brake and get it zeroed at 200 years. Will this do the 4-500 yard trick on a full grown elk? Which one should I get, the 300 or 338 and why? Or would I be better off taking the Winchester I have and just playing around with it. Using the Tikka will save me some weight in the field. I can get in a new Tikka, scope and brake for around $1200 or $1300. What do you think? Rick [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
