If you have the money laying around and want a new rifle, get one, but your setup is just fine. It won't however make a monster elk walk out in front of you on your hunt in any way shape or form.
i have had to re-learn this time and time again. i always wished i would have worried less about what gear i had when i was younger, and learned and practiced harder.
if you start practicing now, and training, chances are you'll be tagged out before they will.
nothing beats confidence in your equipment, but you get that from practice, not price tag!
