[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1832979, member: 103670"] So if it was me and I was just starting out I wouldn’t get to wrapped up in getting fancy. I’m helping a friend of mine with this same thing right now. He’s getting a rem 700 sps in .308 topped with a Leupold rifleman 3-9x40 scope set in Talley rings. It’s nice and simple. It’s an elk killer out to 300-400 yards without a problem and it wasn’t expensive. $442 for the rifle from Buds Gunshop, $214 for the scope from Midway USA, and $47 for Talley rings. Grand total $703. It’s a setup that will last him a lifetime of killing elk and deer. I think sometimes we get wrapped up in some of our more advanced gear designed to kill elk at 1000 yards that when a new hunter or shooter shows up we head way to far down the rabbit hole. [/QUOTE]
