[QUOTE="winmag, post: 650646, member: 22166"] Thank you for your service. Now, +1. Good solid advise so far. Id recomend looking hard at the Weatherby Vanguard Series-II. Everyone of them is guaranteed sub MOA, not just the "sub MOA" model. Howa 1500 & Wby Vanguard are the exact same action, so aftermarket support for future upgrades is good. The Series 2 Vanguard has a good adjustable trigger for a factory rig also. Rifles clambered in sandard cartriges like 308, & 30-06 are less expensive to buy, & shoot than Magnum chambered cartriges. Id personally opt for the -06 over the 308 everyday of the week where Elk & other bigger critters are concerned. Here's another good trick for keeping cost down, Look on Craigslist for a Leupold scope ( VX-II or better, preferably a VX-III). You can usually pick them up for a great price, then send it to the custom shop for any upgrades you'd like, such as B&C Varmint crosshairs (with stadia lines, & 10 & 20 mph windage marks out to 5-600), & or turrets & almost always you'll be out less $ than buying a new one. The 100% lifetime warranty is really 100%! No matter who bought it new, or how many owners down the line you are, its still 100% covered. Ive sent many used Leupys to the custom shop for these upgrades. Plus they're WAY EASY to sell with custom shop upgrades if you decide you don't want to stick with hunting, & so is a rifle with a Wby trademark stamped on it. For some reason, people associate the Wby name with Mark-5, Lasermark, or Accumark price. The Vanguard model is less than half of some of these. Some folks consider Weatherbys to be more "prestigious" simply because of the name. For whatever reason they are easy to sell. For these reasons, quality, accuracy, price, & guarantee, id recomend the Wby vanguard, Leupold combo for your first rig. Especially in a 30 cal. There is no other caliber in the world with a bullet selection that can even compare, or even come close. From 55 grain accellerators, to 230grain VLD's, Gopher to Griz, Sagerat to Sasquatch, you got er covered. [/QUOTE]
