[QUOTE="Chugach, post: 937788, member: 78338"] Just buy a tikka or savage and use the left over $$$$ to actually go hunting. You'll learn more about what you want and don't want in a rifle way better in the field than you ever would on the internet. I know the long range sniper shots are really cool and geeking on guns is sweet (I reload and make liberals uncomfortable too) but in all actuality any of the well made off the shelf guns will do the job especially on large targets like elk. Hell with 4k you could buy 2 nice rifles and still have $$ left over to go on a nice hunt. For what it's worth [ATTACH]33348.vB[/ATTACH] That's a stock tikka t3 (on a lead sled) in .270 at 100yds. The two random shots are from sighting in my new Zeiss scope. I'm a fan of the on the shelf calibers.
