I'm looking to purchase a new hunting rifle. I plan on hunting game such as Deer and Elk with it. I want to be able to mount a scope on it, that is my only requirement. what hunting rifle's do you guys recommend?
AR-10 .308 cal. You can cut/plug the mags to hold exactly the number of rounds your area requires (mine is no limit :3). You can mount anything on the rail. Can be used for drives (pushing the animals with a group of people, not operating a motor vehicle), as well as standing. 308 is a solid round with lots of availability.
Please note I do not personally hunt with this gun, but my father does and just loves it. I use a .270 (some cheap savage from 14 years ago) and an AR-15 (.223) I built last year.

I'd say .243, .308 for short action and then ,30-06, .270, or maybe even .300winmag if you like that kind of thing ; )

Savage had some cheaper models as does mossberg and maybe Remington.

My advice is the old stand by, Remington 700. 30-06 or .308 should do fine for elk. Don't touch the 770 they're garbage.
