[QUOTE="fremont, post: 1930205, member: 112072"] Your outfitter is trying to tell you something, i.e., Get ready for a long poke. I wish I had a dollar for everytime an outfitter says "Yeah, zero your rifle at 200....maybe 250" then, when you get there, the 22 year old guide asks if you're comfortable shooting out to 500. Take a real hard look at magnums that have 1500+ ft. lbs energy at the distances the outfitter is saying, i.e., 500 yards. I'd look personally investigate a Tikka T3 Lite (I like the SS model) in either a 270 WSM or a 300 WSM. I think leaving the 30-06 either at home or as a backup is the right call. [/QUOTE]
