[QUOTE="liltank, post: 379129, member: 13275"] If you can buy a custom for $1500 or less go that route. If not I would suggest looking at the 11/111 Savage Long Range Hunter. It is a new line of rifle by Savage that gives custom like advantages in a production rifle. It utilizes its aluminum bedded Accu-stock, proven Accu-trigger, and excellent accuracy for under $1000. As far as caliber it is a mater of preference. The 300 Win Mag, 300 WSM, 7 WSM, 284 Win., 6.5x55 Swede, 7mm Rem Mag, 280AI, 280 Rem, 270 Win, 270 WSM, 338 Win Mag, 30-06 w/heavy bullets (180+ grain) and the like will take out an elk at 900 or less. Some of the above will take elk to 1K+. So those are my thought. Howa, Weatherby Vangaurd series, and a Weatherby MKV if you can find one for that price would also be viable options. Winchester if you really want one, but the aforementioned will require some tuning to really tighten up the groups. Tank [/QUOTE]
