Lifelong Deer Hunter from SW Washington State here, I've got an Elk trip booked for Montana next fall and my partners are telling me that 300 to 600 yard oportunites are plentiful.
I currently hunt SW WA Elk with an 18" TC single shot 30-06 topped with a 3.5 x 10 Luepold VX3. I am confident taking up to 300 yard shots with this setup but for Montana, I'm looking for a 600 yard gun that I can set up, with decent optics for about 1k and I won't mind swapping my Luepold to the new riffle.
I'm already set on a .300 Win Mag, 26" barrel, bolt action, Stainless/Composite and would prefer a detachable box magazine for this new rifle and I'd like to keep the weight down to the 8 to 9 lbs range with scope.
Yesterday I handled the Weatherby Vanguard but discovered that I can't get it in a 26" barrel.
