[QUOTE="maninthemaze, post: 1249412, member: 87387"] Thanks guys I really appreciate all the insight and suggestions. And I agree with SansSouci suggestions that a 270 will kill and elk, within a reasonable distance. However, like ToddC said, this is LRH. My brother shoots a Remington 700 in 7mm Express or 280, whatever you want to call it. I'm sure it would be just fine a rifle for elk. I however want something better. I enjoy the challenge of shooting at longer and longer distances. I routinely practice at 700 yards and have become comfortable shooting at live game up to around 500 yards. My last trip to Wyoming yielded an antelope at 482 yards. But this was done with my 14 pound rifle. I'm sorta looking for a comprise between accuracy at distance and lighter weight, but not too light. I'm thinking this is exactly what the LRR, Gunwerks, McWhorter and MOA rifles had in mind when they started producing rifles. A fairly light rifle that will excel at longer distance.
