[QUOTE="FlyGuy11, post: 1981717, member: 108987"] So here is the decision guide: [LIST=1] [*]Do you hand-load or use factory ammunition? [*]Deer (1,800 fps & 1,000 ft./lbs.) or Elk (1800 fps. & 1,500 ft./lbs. these numbers should be your on target not muzzle velocity)? [*]Hunting only gun or a regular shooting gun as well? [*]Most important: What is your budget? [/LIST] I am a 7mm junkie and I hand-load so I have both a 280 AI and 28 Nosler. I have taken some nice Elk with both at decent ranges of 422 yards and 383 yards. Both animals dropped in 1 shot. Respectively with the 28 Nosler I would not feel comfortable beyond 800 yards and the 280 AI 650 yards on Elk but would prefer to shoot closer to compensate for my shooting abilities or possible weaknesses in. I hope this helps! Begara B-14's and Tikka T3s are pretty good Scope either a Night Force 4-14X50mm F1 (on my 28 Nosler) or a Vortex Razor LHT 3-15X42 (going on my kids rifle) [/QUOTE]
