[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1912193, member: 105459"] [I]Honestly there really is no one answer to your question, you see it is one that is in fact multifaceted. Let me please qualify that last statement. Many people will offer up there suggestions and opinions on this matter ,regarding which caliber is correct . Let's examine it from your perspective and not someone elses.[/I] [B][I][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][I] Ask Yourself the following:[/I][/COLOR][/I][/B] [I]What are your expectations for a hunting rifle ? (obviously as stated to be used in the harvesting of Elk sized game ) You will be humping this rig all day so make your choices wisely !! [B][I] In that light I pose these questions ![/I][/B] Do you want a fiberglass stock and stainless steel barrel with a muzzle brake for an all weather lightweight hunter ? Stock comb length , and length of pull , ( does the stock meet your physical needs ?) Perhaps a carbon fiber barrel , again for weight reduction ? Is the rifle made in the USA or overseas ? Choice of Scope and its magnification level., being conscious of the scopes clarity , features and functions .and the added weight with rings and an rail ! Which reticle do you prefer an M.O.A. or Mil Dot ? What name brand is the scope ? What sort of scope warranty is offered and not implied ? Is ammunition readily available in stores or must it be special ordered. ? For that matter can you purchase a back up magazine ( if required ) locally or must that too be special ordered? [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]IMHO some time spent at shooting ranges, and in gun stores allowing time to reach logical conclusions will go a long way towards improving your chances of getting the correct rifle , in the correct caliber .[/COLOR] [COLOR=#41a85f][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Take the look , listen . and feel approach asking any questions that you deem appropriate.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#41a85f][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]( some indoor [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#41a85f][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]gun ranges do rent rifles and this may be anther avenue in helping you to determine which brand and caliber of rifle that will meet your criteria )[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Another thought : [/B] I[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]f someone at the range has a weapon in the caliber that you were thinking of buying then perhaps they may let you fire a few shots down range with it in order to determine if it is for you. [I]In this manner you indeed will fill all your needs based on your sound judgement, and not on the suggestions of others ![/I][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][B][I]Best Of Luck[/I][/B] [/COLOR][I][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][I]![/I][/COLOR][/I] [/QUOTE]
