[QUOTE="mercerbear, post: 2490560, member: 116322"] I can't think of a good way to cover these needs with one rifle. You need at least 2, and probably different chamberings. The good news is that $1,200 can buy you a very serviceable hunting rifle in 2022. I would look at some of the better factory offerings. .308 is deer and black bear but a little marginal for elk, especially if you're looking to shoot past 400 yards. After all, this is LRH. I would consider at least a 30.06 or even better, 300WM for the hunting rifle. Factory rifles that I would carry that come to mind in your price range would be Bergara, Tikka, Winchester Model 70 Extreme. I can't speak on the F-Class setups but I know those things are normally boat anchors with massive optics. 20 lb setups would not be my ideal woods or mountain gun. [/QUOTE]
