[QUOTE="tonechaser88, post: 2328952, member: 119065"] This is always a fun topic . Seems like everyone wants a 6lb scoped rifle that’ll kill elk out to 1000y. I think just be realistic . If your going out to 1000 yards , you don’t want to be riding a bucking bronco so I’d say as light of a recoiling gun as you can get away with it be lethal at that distance. 7 saum /wsm / Sherman short or max. My first thought though was a 6.5prc. But that’s not enough for elk at those distances. I have a 300 wsm right in front of me coming in at 9 lbs scoped shooting 163 pva Cayugas at 3000 FPS with a muzz break. Pretty **** salty set up with a 20” barrel . It’s not an ultralight but it’s light and packs a punch and it’s very shootable. I’m thinking if you want elk out to 1000 , better off sacrificing a pound and going up to a larger rifle. [/QUOTE]
