[QUOTE="Ga6570, post: 2167123, member: 108782"] i have to echo this from - Dogz - "Lastly, and forgive me for saying it but instead of a 10 pound RUM, and instead of a PRC I'd simply buy him a Tikka T3 Lite in .308, 7/08, 270, 6.5 CM or the plain oldy but goody 06. Cost effective, easy to tote around, they generally shoot balls out and really for sub 500 (and more) it's all one needs. Fit it with a decent sling that doesn't slip around when slung and doesn't weigh over 5 ounces with the swivels. If you just put a decent 1" tube scope on it you'll be around 7 lbs give or take a quarter pound all up and ready to rock!" that part of Montana has a lot of ups and downs. the 3 elk I've shot in that mountainous area have all been under 200 yards. granted if you do get onto private ranch lands further west the shots can get much longer. be bear aware! :) it is beautiful country. good luck to you on the drawing, in a couple weeks let us know how the draw ended up!
