[QUOTE="Privi457, post: 1932202, member: 114626"] How old are you ? Are you in shape to handle the altitude ? When was your last comprehensive physical ? FYI a 3 state (ID, MT, WY) study determined the average Elk kill was under 150 yards. In my outfitted hunts (ID and WY) my longest shot on Elk was 200 yards. If you are comfortable with your 30-06 and it shoot MOA, you don't need a new rifle. Spend your money on a better scope, good boots/clothes and horseback lessons. For myself, I'd never hire an outfitter who could not get me within 300 yards of any big game animal. This forum is dedicated to long range hunting. You should consider that when seeking advice.
