Plain Jane Winchester Model 70 in .300wsm shooting 180gr nosler partitions. Does the job I need it to on elk inside of 500 yards. The rifle and bullet combo would probably do more but I have hard limits on myself. If I can't get within 500 yards then my stalking skills need more work than my shooting skills 😅

Usually my old Browning ABolt in 30-06 is my go to for anything... PIcked up a Bergara B14 Squared Crest 6.5 PRC for longer range shots....but seriously considering something in Weatherby Mark V 280 AI for muleys and elk. I have a Ruger M77 (old one) in 7 Rem Mag....a Ruger No 1 in 300 WM.....and just dont want the recoil. So hoping with the 280 Ackley can get within a 100-150 fps....reduce some recoil...and have a hell of a setup.

I go cow hunting every year and use my Tikka 7mm Rem Mag, until last year I decided to tryed my X Bolt 6.5 creedmor. Took her down at about 275 with one shot. Leaving Friday and cant decide which one to use.

Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm PRC: I love the lighter weight rifles because they all feel 10lbs heavier on the side of a mountain.

Without a doubt tikka/credo 2.5-5/20” 338-284. Or maybe same rifle in 7-08AI. Or maybe M7 257 Rob improved. Definitely one of those. Unless it’s a bow.
