RE: The search for an elk gun
If you like the 700 I would consider a 700bdl ss in 300win mag.Almost all 700' s that I have handloaded for will group into an inch with some much better.The 300win mag is available in a great variety of factory loads if you do not handload and prices are more reasonable than the weatherby cartridges. I have owned two weatherby' s and was very disapointed in the accuracy considering the high pricetag they carry.
