[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1303612, member: 55230"] A friend finally drew a few tags. He wants a gun he can take an elk at 1000yds, I explained to him its unlikely he will but by the same token I don't want to limit is future. So we conceded that the 300wm will do everything and more, tho I think he could easily use a 7RM, 30-06, even 308 or 6.5cm (thinking it might be a little light on elk). I have not gotten an exact budget from him, and his experience level with a rifle is near zero. He needs LH. At this point we're looking very hard at savages, but keeping tikkas in mind. He will be shooting factory ammo so very likely 180gr will be his main load, not sure how the tikka 1:11 will handle it. He's also not interested in a 10lb+ gun. I'd like to hear some opinions that may push us in one direction or another. [/QUOTE]
