I love your choice of rifle & cartridge. I have a 45+ year-old Model 700 BDL that'll still shoot .25" @ a hundred with 130 grain GameKings, 60 grains of H-4831 inside of W-W brass, & Fed 210M primers. For elk, I use 150 grain Partitions.
Remington revolutionized big game hunting with its famed Model 700. It allow working men to take to big game fields with excellent quality rifles that were as accurate as much more expensive rifles. I've since acquired two Sakos, but my Model 700 is my go-to rifle.
