[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1266975, member: 32318"] My opinion regarding the rifle would be the stw. Shot range is going to be totally dependent on where and how your hunting. Where I typically hunt elk the shots are generally 400-800 yards. Its mostly glassing from a point and shooting across a canyon. Distance could be cut down if needed, but if you have the equipment and practice it is a good challenge. On the other hand I have a friend who's land we've hunted and I don't think anyone in his family has made a shot over 400 yards there, average being probably 200. It boils down to how you want to hunt them and how close you need to get. Another comment on the cartridges, the last few years we have had a few different folks in camp using everything from a standard 280 Remington to a 340 Wby. My opinion is something in the 7 mag level is where "good" elk cartridges start. [/QUOTE]
