[QUOTE="Kimber7man, post: 2177347, member: 11938"] Once in a lifetime hunt deserves a rifle and scope befitting the hunt. I have plenty of 6.5 and 7mm’s, and have used a 6.5 SAUM the last two years to bring home my elk. However, for a one and done, You may want to consider a Christensen Ridgeline in 300 Win Mag, top it with a Nightforce SHV 4-14x50, and use Nosler trophy grade or federal ammo with 180 Accubonds. Light weight, with 26” threaded barrel if you ever want to use a suppressor. That combo will not leave you lacking, unless you want to shoot 800+ yards, then you’ll want a better bullet for the longer distance. [/QUOTE]
