[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 108375, member: 2330"] Brandon, I was wondering where abouts in Northern California do you live? I grew up in Eureka CA, and had a special elk tag last year for BIG LAGOON. I ended up eating some tag soup but that's how it goes some times! What special hunts did you get drawn for? Oh btw, Why don't you just stick with the .308 if 500 is all your looking at for distance? Put the bullet in the right spot and he'll die. . . on the same token if you're just looking for a really good excuse to buy a new gun then I would have to say that you can't go wrong with the 7 RUM or the 300 win! Personal opinon would be to go with 300 win. I don't know if you handload or not but bullet selection is better with the 30's and over the counter ammo is more readily avail. I would say that the barrel will last longer too. But along the lines you were thinking. . . the 7 RUM will get you to 1000 on elk and even furthur on deer. GET GOOD OPTICS!! Good luck with whatever you get! [/QUOTE]
