[QUOTE="MDJACKSON417, post: 1252784, member: 98887"] First off I want to just say I am new to the forum and the long range aspect. I am in process of putting together a new rifle for elk hunting and have narrowed it down to what I think are 2 calibers, .28 nosler or a 300 WBY. I was leaning toward the .28 nosler due to all of the good things I have seen on it on the internet and reviews but, the guide we are using recommended at least using a 30 caliber gun. Any opinions on the is would be great I am open to suggestions. As for a scope for the rifle I have been looking at 2 that are currently on sale the Swarovski Z5 3.5x18x44 or the Leupold VX-6 3x18x50 with the cds turret and a firedot reticle currently on sale for 899. Again with this I'm open to suggestions as to which would be a better choice, I am a believer in quality over quantity so of a person is going to spend a few thousand on a set up, 500 is not going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. I hope I am posting this in the right spot again I am new to the forum. Thank you all opinions will be considered as I am open to suggestions. I guess I should add they have told us to be prepared to take shot anywhere from 25 yards to 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
