[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1508008, member: 54178"] Yeah, the day my .300 Win mag (with 230 gr. Berger Hybrid pills) is not good for 1,200 yard elk is the day I hang it up. **This "attitude" that a .38 caliber bullet is absolutely necessary for ELRH is, IMHO, pretty arbitrary. It does not take into account game size or delivered energy. I may not be "good" for that distance ethically but the rifle/cartridge combo is. I'd have to switch my Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 21 x 50 scope W/ H59 reticle from my Ruger Precision Rifle to the Browning A-Bolt but with the Nightforce Uni-mount that's no problem. [B]FINALLY, [/B]I am concerned that some people with unlimited budgets (and unlimited egos) may buy a Tracking Point rifle/scope combo and feel they can hit anything they can see. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
