[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1929988, member: 66917"] Have you ever shot you 06 or any rifle 300-500 yards? I'd go out with you best know 30-06 load and shoot 300-500 yards and figure out if your rifle can hold enough accuracy to do the job. I'd shoot from a steady bench and from various field shooting positions. This exercise will tell you if you need a more accuracy harder hitting rifle or if your current rifle is going to be good enough. If your 30-06 will reach 1800fps at 500 yards under the environment you intend to hunt in and you and the rifle can hold groups small enough to kill and elk at 500 yards forget a new rifle and practice like heck with you current setup.
