I actually suspect what I was meaning was get a heavy full size bolt action and put on either iron sights or a scope that you might use and away you go. NOt the 10-22 stuff. After all a scope is a scope, and irons are irons.
A few years back I had zero'd my buddies 338 in March. In that same year in September I killed a caribou with it at over 800 yards on the first shot. Only thing I'd shot in between was an iron sighted AR15.

Did you mean to say that you took a shot at a caribou at "over 800 yards", or was that a typo and did you mean over 300 yards?
