[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 56354, member: 1940"] If you're going to be hunting out to 700 yards I would suggest sticking with the .300's, shooting 200 gr bullets, and maybe consider a Weatherby (cartridge, not rifle) or the RUM. 700 yds is a looong way out there. I'm really fond of the 7 rem mag, but not for elk beyond the area of 500 yds. As for scopes for that kind of shooting, I use a 2.5-10x42 IOR on my .300 Jarrett. I also like a 4.5-14. Any larger magnification range and there is too little field of view for the majority of shots that are probably going to be somewhere closer to 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
