They’re a leader in the field and their rifles are always a lot of fun for a reasonable price. No list would be complete without at least two Browning models. Personally, I like to load it with Black Hills Gold hunting ammo when I take mine out for a bit of proper stalking. With black synthetic straight stock, a fiberglass graphite composite grip and black rubber butt pad, the Stalker is a real beaut. The most economical of Browning models, the Stalker retails for $820, but you can usually find a lightly used one on sale for around $700. It’s a great option for hunters who are on the move and performs like a boss at 100 yards, making it a monster for bagging does. This bolt-action model comes in a number of long and short action calibers, but when it comes to elk hunting you can’t go wrong with the.
