[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 936843, member: 65338"] If you don't like to wear hearing protection/enhancement while hunting, I would not recommend building anything that requires a muzzle brake. You will be screaming, cussing, and hating life the first time that thing goes off in your unprotected ear. Any of the big 30's would be more than adequate for elk at 600 yards. The 200gr Nosler Accubond in the 300 Win Mag at 2900+ fps is a real thumper. Any of the bigger 7mm's would work as well so long as you stick to the heavier bullets. Of course 33's work. That goes without saying. If you don't mind spending extra to build a custom rifle on a wildcat round, the options are endless... For optics, I personally use the Bushnell Elite Tactical 4.5-30x50mm scope on my 338-375 Ruger. The 4.5x enables me to hunt timber while the higher powers allow me to take very precise long range shots. Great glass and the scope holds zero and tracks perfectly. My rifle does NOT wear a muzzle brake. A lot of options out there. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
