I'm currently saving up to purchase another rifle and would like some advice on what to buy. Right now I own, cast and reload a Marlin 1895G in 45-70. I love this gun but would like to get something that can reach out a little further in the event that everything pans out and I go elk hunting in the next few years (moose is my main priority right now). As far as calibers go I have been looking primarily at the 30-06 or .308 but I am willing to consider other options. Price range is floating right around $1000 right now before adding a scope, which will probably be a cheapie to start off with. This is the current picture in my mind of what I am saving for http://www.weatherby.com/product/rif..._2/sporter_dbm
Any suggestions?
