yorec, I'd bet a lot of folks from the eastern US who go out west for elk-hunting for the first time have the idea they need a super cannon and a 20X scope, to deal with shots of mostly 500 yards.

Art Eatman,
You hit the nail on the head. Being from Michigan, I was ridiculed by a lot of my fellow Michiganders for taking a 30-06 to Wyoming on a hunting trip. It's amazing how many fellas in Michigan use .300 Win. Mags. and the like on whitetail where your lucky to see 500 yards, let alone get a shot. They buy these rigs and justify it by saying "just in case I go out west some day". I must have heard that one 1,000 times.
