[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1914266, member: 109378"] 1. Caliber: 30-06, lot of options, take it anywhere, plenty of juice, you can refine and study your load as you go...or 7mm-08/.308/6.5 PRC 2. Rifle: In order of cost--Ruger M-77, Weatherby Vanguard, Browning X-bolt, Rem 700, Sako-85 (my choice) $800-$1800.00, of course a lot of nice rifle out of your listed price range. 3. Scope: Many options--Bang for your buck hunting to LR paper punching--Viper Vortex 4-16 X 44 HS-T. $600 with rings; another 150 for drop in Turrets from Kenton industries. None of these, even 30-06 kick that hard; easiest on your shoulder whilst still being very deadly and functional in a lighter weight rifle IMO is the 7mm-08. I'm not a huge fan of 6.5 creed for big game hunting, two friends and my son have them--they just don't seem to lay 'em down...just my experience. I love the cartridge... [/QUOTE]
