[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1535803, member: 30671"] 1) The Savage will likely work for you. 2) Top end magnification is kind of personal taste to a degree. 25X isn't necessary for elk to 800 yards. Someplace between 10 and 16x should be useable, but 25x can be turned down for more FOV. 3) Stretching the distance with factory ammo I won't say no to, but not enthusiastic about it. Berger is making some pretty good ammo, and there are custom loaders out there that can load to your rifle. Hammer Bullets being one of them and you'll see them posting regularly here. [/QUOTE]
