[QUOTE="ajkellerusmc, post: 1555122, member: 108702"] I am new to this site. And this off your original question.I have no scope recommendation due to not having hunted long range. However I have hunted Elk for 24 years and in my opinion a "6.5mm whatever" is too light of a cartridge to reliably bring down an Elk at 300 plus yards. Your shot placement might not even matter. If you wound an Elk in Oregon country and it goes into thick heavy timber your chances of recovery or a follow up shot are very slim. I would opt for a heavier caliber at 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
