[QUOTE="ND243, post: 2177657, member: 57132"] Even though I am not worried about getting ammo for a 6.5PRC as my buddies have them and I know a guy with 3 cases (not box’s, cases) of 6.5PRC. I am willing to go bigger and I think I will go with 300WSM now. Really thinking of getting a Tikka and a VX5 now after all the comments. Wish I had one of those 30% off coupons a year ago for a seekins ph2 or I would have one of those! I plan on putting all my focus on this hunt this year. I feel like some people on here feel like I’m less knowledgeable on hunting because I haven’t been into the rifle game very hard (which for elk I am not I will admit that taking in all the information I can). But I am a very serious hunter and especially archer. Some of you here compete with rifles and i compete in archery (many tournaments under my belt, ND state champ archer, etc). I take hunting very seriously and maybe under estimated the caliber do to me usually getting within 30 yards of an animal.. not 400. So this made me think it was enough. I do respect everyone’s opinion and this was the whole point of the thread to make sure I didn’t pick something I regret! I’m the type of guy who researches everything like crazy(drives my wife nuts). So keep the opinions coming! But right now i am thinking one of these: Tikka T3x lite veil 300WSM Tikka t3x lite stainless 300WSM Christensen arms 300WSM leupold VX5 HD 3-15x44 windplex reticle Anyways here’s my last two archery kills! Figured I’d show I do hunt a little bit... actually it consumes most of my life 😂 [/QUOTE]
