[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1572358, member: 103947"] Lots of opinions here as well as good advice. The 6.5 cartridge isn't the best option for an elk only cartridge and the .284/30s would be best. Yes the 6.5 with good bc hunting bullets will get it done easily at long range, the extra bullet weight and performance of the 7s or heavy 30s would be better. The build is another story. "Depends" is the word. Can you assemble and head space a barreled action ? Can you bed an action if necessary ? If so, YES you can easily put together a $2K elk rifle. Rem 700 or Savage action. Grayboe, B&C, Choate or Stockys stock. Shilen prefit select match barrel and Shilen or Rifle Basix trigger. Optic at around 700-800.00 and you'll be in your range of cost. Vortex, Sightron or Leupold gets you in that range. All decent optics for your goal. [/QUOTE]
