[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1874042, member: 112192"] I have a 6.5 CM and the only game I've ever pointed it at has been coyotes, but I wouldn't hesitate to put it on deer, antelope and similar small - medium sized game. With Elk potential in your situation I would step up to the PRC and that would be the minimal cartridge I would select. I know I know, the CM has taken Elk before, and it surely has, but I would want the extra horsepower on such big game and hopefully save a lost animal or a mile track in the back country. As for the rifle, I have spent many hours researching and reading up on Bergara's as well as handling them and they are certainly fine rifles, but at the end of the day I would choose a Tikka over the Bergara.
