[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 3028472, member: 123496"] 7 PRC for sure. With the Element and a suppressor will be very manageable and be excellent across all western big game. If really worried about recoil, get it in a PH2 or get an Element in 6.5 PRC. 300 magnums are out if recoil is a concern for you at all. I moved up from a 7 RM to a 300 PRC in addition to a 6.5 PRC. If I was going to go to a single western game cartridge it would be 7 PRC. An ultralight 6.5 CM hunting rifle is great for mountain and deer sized game, but is a little underpowered outside 200 yds for elk and moose IMO. 7 RM and 300 Win Mag are fantastic cartridges, but 7 PRC is the new hotness. Ammo availability will improve for the 7 PRC, but if the rifle turns out not to be exactly what you want resale will be better in 7 PRC IMO. [/QUOTE]
