[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1763401, member: 111417"] If the elk are constantly in that area that you speak of, I would try this approach. Sneak into the area the night before and wait it out. If you know where they are going to be you pick a spot based on where your shot will be. I would go in well before the season and build a nice comfortable blind that you can spend some real time in. Then I would wait it out. Bring some coffee and a book to read LOL. If I could avoid a 1,000 meter shot I would try to avoid it. If the shot angle is bad from closer distances, you could try a tall stand. A stand that is 30 feet up in a tree presents a lot more options than trying to take the same shot from the ground. I would much rather take a 500 yard shot from a solid stand I would choose that above taking a 1,000 yarder from across the canyon. Answering your original question, the Remington Mag or the STW will get out there and do the job if you do your part. I wouldn't worry about the difference between the two. Time behind the scope will do you more good than time figuring out whether the old Remington or the flashy STW will be better. [/QUOTE]
