[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1759685, member: 111417"] I have a few questions for the OP: 1. What is your distance to target? What is the area that you plan on hunting? Are you going to be in the woods where 200 yards is a long shot and you will never need to dial your scope? Are you going to be hunting in vast open spaces where you will have to belly crawl a couple hundred yards just to get in range of your shooting ability? 2. What is the maximum recoil level that you feel comfortable shooting? What cartridges have you fired that felt acceptable to you? Have you ever fired a cartridge and thought, "man, thats just too much for comfort"? 3. How often do you plan on hunting elk? Are you going to hunt deer every year and try to fill all your tags and then just go elk hunting someday? Do you plan on taking elk every year and need a rifle that can also be used on deer? 4. What is your total budget for the whole set up? If you have $1000 to spend that gets you a lot different rifle and glass than if you have $2500 to spend. 5. Do you reload? Are you going to have to rely on factory ammunition? 6. How do you plan on hunting? Are you going to be sitting in a blind or tree stand or are you going to be carrying your rifle all over God's creation to bag your game? All of these things are important to consider when you are buying a rifle. [/QUOTE]
