[QUOTE="britz, post: 193590, member: 7865"] There is no one answer for the "best". It all depends on how far you are going to shoot what game as well as many other variables including your personal prefference. I shoot a Tikka T3 300wsm and have been getting solid .5 MOA accuracy w/ it with select loads. I only will hunt to about 600 yards at this time due to my ability level (haven't made any shots that far on game yet :( - but I've killed many targets and baloons at that range LOL! I feel confident that the rifle and the caliber would be sufficient for white tail out past 900 when *my* ability level increases. In a couple of years I'd like to build something like a 260 rem semi custom for long range varmint and deer. I live in MN, and don't plan on going elk hunting too often, but if I did, I would be building something in 338. [/QUOTE]
