[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 1546587, member: 47425"] All great advice and funny too! Only animal that should ever be shot at more than 500-800 yds is a terrorist or other criminals and then who cares if you make a bad hit, for any hit is really a good one. One gent said he'd recommend 300WM, but didn't have one. :) I hunt pretty much with a 264 WM or a 340 Wby. With both I limit my shots to 600 or less (they will both shoot far better than most people (me included) at well past that range) and the 340 can do anything a 338 lapua can do and for a fraction of the cost. But if push came to shove or s hits t fan and I could only have one gun and I thought it might be needed the world over, remote areas, or for hard times it would be my 300 Win (or a .308 for ammo availability). As most everyone on here knows the problem with shooting big game at 1000+ (or even 800+yds) is that from the time you touch the trigger to the time the bullet arrives, an elk, deer, bear (insert animal of your choice) can move and cause you to make your worst hit ever. Or even completely miss which is more ideal, but murphy's law says is not the way it will happen:(. All these hunting shows and stories where they are killing animals at 1000+, never show any misses or bad hits, I'm sure that's cause they never have any. Yeah, whatever ;). Anyway, ignore the "manbun greedmor" and enjoy the new job and Utah, its a beautiful place with good folks and great hunting! [/QUOTE]
