[QUOTE="trebark, post: 514852, member: 19172"] Here are my thoughts.... Cartridge: To take an elk at 1k you will want more powder than the 300wm. Consider 300RUM or bigger. If you like the 30calibers, 1:11 twist is all you need unless you decide you want to shoot the 240grain SMK then you will need 1:10. Barrel: In order to realize all the performance the big magnums can deliver, you will want to be 28" or longer. Brake: Look at the brakes that have three or four large ports on either side although a radial brake may work, I'm not familiar with anyone using a radial brake on a big magnum though. Center Shot Rifles makes a great brake called the Muslce Brake. [url=http://www.centershotrifles.com/sales/]Center Shot Rifles - Products / Sales[/url] Stock: Be sure to match the stock to the style of hunting/shooting you intend to do. Given that you want to shoot 1k at game, you should consider the stocks with a vertical grip as a first choice. McMillan, B&C, HS Precision, Manners all make good stocks. Be sure to bed your action into the stock. Gunsmith: One of the best, Kevin Cram (an LRH sponsor).
