Building an elk rifle

[Capt RB]

Become utterly, absolutely, unshakably focused on *accomplishing* your dream. Don't just dream it - DO IT.

NEVER stop working towards it.

Let nothing and no one distract you from making every effort in your life lead to the accomplishment of your dream.

Do not fall to the temptation to wait a bit until "things"/life relent a bit. That is the beginning of the death of accomplishing your dream.

Insist that everything else that is not a part of you accomplishing this goal is nothing more than a temporary, passing moment.

+1 You can get through this very minor set back easily. If money is the object go talk with the school and barter. Set yourself up with a go fund me page. Money does grow on trees open your mind and your eyes will find it. If you keep thinking you can't your right. However if you keep thinking you can your right as well

Maybe a little more info on you as the op?

Can you shoot?

Are you a handloader?

Not a dig but you're talking about some pretty long range pokes with a 338-06. I've built and loaded for that round and it's an absolute hammer but have you looked at where it shines?

For an all around elk round there are a lot of better options as have been mentioned. You wanting something "cooler" makes you sound like an idiot. If you're going to be a guide, a professional, you need to be at work.

Play with side projects on your own time.
