[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 583995, member: 10306"] I have my .338 RUM that will do anythung a .338 Lapua can do. you can find them for cheap sometimse. I know Ive seen them as Senduros and I think that would be an excellent budget rig. Mine is a simple XCR 1 with a bit of elbow grease put into it. Im not to the point of shooting elk at 1000 yards with it yet, but its mostly because its under 10 lbs and Im just not that good. I would take WildRose's advice and shoot one first. Some people dont notice the recoil and some do, and there is no shame admiting that you dont lke recoil. I think that for a match gun you'll want something smaller, maybe a 6.5 of sorts. for a elk gun id try the .338 RUM/Lapua/edge/Wby and if its too much try the 300 RUM and if its too much drop to a 7 STW. i think that all those are good to 1k. I always try to get the best shot possible sometimes its at 10 yards and sometimes its at 600 yards. depends on the situation.... I also like my Howard Hill long bow. [/QUOTE]
