Long Range Build Advice

I have one of these coming this week in a 7 mm PRC. I think it's what you're looking for also. Weatherby model307

I would recommend you put together your own rifle based off of one of the many excellent actions/prefit barrels that are offered today. Very simple to do and you will have a "custom" built rifle that will be exactly what you want and will shoot lights out. If you are patient and watch the classifieds here you can easily stay within your budget. I Built a 6.5 and 7 PRC and only bought action and barrel at retail, the rest was purchased here and saved a bunch of $$.

no elk in west texas or aoudad unless it's a fenced range

There are free-range elk and aoudad in TX. No real public land opportunities, but plenty outside of the high-fence operations.

If yhere is there aren't any I've ever seen or heard about in West Texas. South Texas, yes in a few places

If you're going to purchase a rifle I'd look very hard at seekins. If you wanna spend as little as possible just buy a tikka and go kill stuff.

They are there, I see them regularly. There is even a herd of Aoudad around Possum Kingdom.
