[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1569129, member: 68875"] Jeez. Building a dedicated 6.5CM elk rifle is a terrible idea, especially for a guy who has only shot 1 elk. Unless you plan on limiting shots to 500 max. Can it do the job? Yes. Is it optimal? No. Are there far better choices that still have moderate recoil? Yes. .30-06, .270 Win, .280 Rem .280AI, 7RM .300WM, etc. If you just HAVE to have a 6.5, .264WM and you can load it way down for plinking. Why leave 400fps/400+ft/lbs on the table? [/QUOTE]
