[QUOTE="orwapitihunter, post: 32103, member: 1939"] John I have two rifles that I hunt elk with. Both are dedicated hunting rifles and can and have been carried all day over rough ground. The first is a Rem 700 classic in 7mm Rem Mag. Bought this rifle bucking hay when I was 16. I have restocked it with a Six ent. synthetic stock/glass bedded, and a Leupold 3X9 Vari X-II. I settled on a max load and 160gr Nosler Partitions. This rifle has taken 9 bulls. Longest shot 550 yrds and thats about max. The second rifle is a custom Rem 700 stainless in 7.82 Lazzeroni Warbird. It has a 27" Lilja stainless fluted barrel, that's .750 at the muzzle, McMillen HTG stock, Leupold 4.5X14 Vari X-III with target turret, and is weighted for balance. Total weight 10.5#. Settled on a load with 180gr Nosler Partitions. This rifle has taken 2 bulls (3 if you count when it was a .338 Win Mag). Longest at 483yrds with a max of 700yrds dictated more by me than the gun. I have also taken three black bears with this rifle. [/QUOTE]
