I have a 300 Win Mag that would certainly work for elk out to 500 yards, but I would never take a shot at that range. My personal comfort for long range shots is about 300 yards and even closer if...

If you want scent control, light weight, warm and waterproof (or highly water resistance) I'd recommend Arctic Shield. Unless you are hunting in a warmer part of the country, they work great.

Personally, based on the guns you already own, if you feel you need a new rifle I'd get a .338 Win Mag. But, you already have most bases covered with the current calibers you own.
