[QUOTE="knapper, post: 1437160, member: 38632"] Tragik; In my humble opinion; when you are shooting at the range that you quoted, 500 to 1000 yards.. I would definitely leave the 6.5x47 at home in the gun safe. I believe the 6.5 is out of its league at the range of anything over 500 yards, especially at an elk.. I DO believe that shot placement with ANY rifle is of paramount importance and the thought of trying to harvest and elk with the 6.5 at those ranges is bordering on utmost arrogance.. I DO agree with you on the choice of scope for that range, particular, for the 7MM Saum or the 7 SS.. I do love the Golden Eagle and was torn between that one and the BURRIS XTR II 8x40x50 for my new rifle which is a 300 WIN MAG necked down to a 7MM. I went with the Burris.. I won't go into for the sake of the subject at hand but in my opinion, I would stay with the golden Eagle and use the option of dialing down on the power and unless you have deep pockets and decide to go with the upper end of rifles like the 50 BMR, you will be right in there...
