[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2359292, member: 64108"] I see you are in CA like me and will have to shoot non lead locally so my advice would be to get a faster twist barrel off the bat. Any reason you are set on the Bergara ? You are getting something that has very limited aftermarket offerings and you may want a different gun sooner than you think. Also if you plan on reloading you might want to review the PRC Die Problem thread. As to the scope you don't mention FFP or SFP, how far you plan on shooting an elk, run your ballistics to see how far the bullet you choose will have the energy you feel comfortable dumping an elk then you can select a scope that has enough elevation to get you there. SWFA has a pretty good filter for scopes where you can set the min max magnification(left side), price, objective size, etc. The bigger the objective the brighter the image will be at a given power given like glass quality. You are definitely on the right track by aiming for a high quality scope on the first round ! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.swfa.com/optics/riflescopes.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
