[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2683026, member: 5429"] Couple quick Q's if you don't mind. *First up, when is your first elk hunt planned for (what year)? *To date on a consistent basis how far are you shooting steel, groups etc at this time? *When you say mountain rifle, give us your idea of what it should weigh in at "all u') (meaning, scoped, sling, rounds)? *Are you running suppressed and or have plans to? Lastly, I'd encourage you to stay in your lane in terms of the whole "long range" thing. IMO, going to long range has a lot of different meanings and everyone has their own definition. As well, everyone has their own abilities (hence limitations). I'd offer up for you to give this a lot of thought. You're a busy dude with a new one in the casa, enjoy it to the fullest it goes quickly and is worth a ton load more than a bunch of gun gack:) Lastly, sorry if I sounded "preachy" didn't mean to be. Bottom line, I'd get lined up to be suppressed, I'd buy a lefty T3 in 7 RM and get to it. I'd practice so that I can hit the turf, and put 3 rounds on a pie plate at 400 in sub 10 seconds, then I'd move to 500 and so on. Doesn't have to be anyone else's way, just works for this kid.
