Hey guys, I'm looking into building a rifle for my Utah general season elk hunt next fall. I'm on a tight budget so I need the best "bang for my buck" so to speak.
Right now I have a Savage 11 in 6.5 CM that would make a good platform but I've also thought about getting a Savage Axis II since its a long action and building off of it. My goal is to have a sub 8# rifle with optics. My preferred cartridges would be in the 6.5 or 7mm calibers but I don't shoot magnums well so those are out. I do reload but component availability with some of the more exotic cartridges would be limited at best. Thanks in advance.
