[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 323233, member: 10306"] Im no expert. my longest shot on game was 450 yards. But when getting started into LR hunting I searched for the holy grail of rifles that would do what I needed. It came down to being able to harvest elk beyond 600 yards. I bought a .338 Ultra and had a brake installed, glass bedded, stock modifications, a harris bi-pod and a Mark 4. I like to have EXTRA for game at long range. Elk are tough, the .338 Ultra is big. makes sense to me. If recoil is really an issue, then I think the 300 WM or 7mm Rem. I feel the 6.5-284 is a little light for elk at that range (just from personall research). JM [/QUOTE]
