[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1600331"] My advice (and I'm not trying to be insulting) is that you need to re-evaluate taking long range shots at elk and deer if you're trying to do it cheap.. shooting long range at game animals is serious, to ethically do this you need to be fully committed to mastering ballistics and long range shooting! You don't handload, and will be at the mercy of factory ammo plus you don't want to spend over $600 on a rifle. If you want to get into long range hunting you really need to realize that to do it properly it's not going to be cheap. Bump your price range up to about $1100 you can get a much better fast twist rifle like a Browning Hells Canyon. If you really don't want to handload then I'd get a 6.5 PRC or 300 PRC, Hornady designed these rounds for the "factory guy" to have access to long range ammo offerings. [/QUOTE]
