For long range work I use long barrels and high BC bullets

Elk rifle is a fluted #8 Lilja 34 inches long with a brake to make it 36 inches long. 7mm-338 Lapua Improved. Because of the weight and extreme velocity it is a very easy rifle to shoot and has killed 7 animals beyond 500 yards.

Deer/Antelope rifle has a heavy NBRSA barrel 30 inches long with brake for 32 inches and has two pounds of lead in the butt stock to weigh a total of 18 pounds. 240 Wby and it has killled six animals beyond 500 yards

F-class rifle Rem 40X has a 28 inch heavy palma barrel - 308 Win. Don't normally use if for long range hunting but under 500 yards it has killed a lot of animals

Goof off rifle- Ruger #1 has a 28 inch barrel with final taper to 0.75 inches. 257 Wby. Killed only one animal beyond 500 yards.

A couple of pictures of the elk rifle after being used by the kids to shoot antelope. You will notice it has no sling on it although it has flush cups and I have a special sling for it.
