[QUOTE="Powell, post: 2296607, member: 63216"] I have been in this position. First “real” elk rifle I bought was a Savage 110 with a “Sniper” scope (looked cool, had turrets and AO, and wasn’t dad 3-9). Rifle was a 7RM because dad shot a 30-06 but raved about a guy in elk camp that shot a 7RM, said it was the flattest shooting rifle, he was just amazed… so that translated into 7RM is the best. I HATED THAT RIFLE!!!!! Kicked like a mule. Shooting with a buddy years later and he had a Win model 70 w/ wood stock that was a dream to shoot. The years have passed and I have 7mm and 30 cal in a variety of flavors. 280 AI, 7WSM, 7RM, 7STW, 7 RUM, 300WSM, 300 WM 300 RUM, even thought about a 300-338 Lapua. Hell elk rifle I’m running now is a 7mm-300wm. Running 195 EOL Berger’s 2850. They will all kill everything I hunt. If I was planning a 1000+ yd elk shot I’d take my 338 Lapua over all of them if that was an option. But dropped an elk at 600 with a 6.5 Gap. So they all work! [/QUOTE]
