I'd recommend the 300 Winchester Magnum for that one all around long range hunting rifle with enough energy delivered at longer ranges to dispatch elk and smaller game. I shoot 190 Gr Berger Hunting VLD. Mine is a custom build on a Remington Model 700 action with a Lilja precision #7 taper barrel. Heavy enough to manage recoil. Just dumped a Browning A bolt because it kicked like a mule and splattered targets. Not a fan. A good friend just bought a Remington Sendero and is shooting sub-minute accuracy. Leave the 6.5's for deer and smaller game. Shot 7mm Rem mag for years, but moved to the 300 Win Mag and never looked back. Good luck with your purchase.Hey everybody. So I'm looking to buy a rifle that is a good all around long range hunting rifle. Something that can reach out 1000 yards and kill am elk with confidence. But also a gun I would mind taking a pronghorn with. I'm looking to buy one stock, not build. Right now I'm looking at the browning x bolt max long range in 7mm mag. I'm looking to spend around 1100 on rifle, not including scope. I'm just looking for input on what you guys think about the browning and caliber I'm looking at, or what gun and caliber choice youd search. Also I'm thinking about a savage 110 high country in 280 Ackley. Thanks guys
