if your definition of long range is 100 yards and you want to kill elk, I would seriously consider a 30-06. Great rifle with a long history meaning many different styles of rifles in this caliber. It also has many different bullet types and loads for different conditions(deer to elk and even larger).
Just remember once you get to shooting you will quickly find out that 100 yards isn't that far and a long distance shot to me is over 300 yards. The reason I consider over 300 yards long distance is this. Most rifles that are made to hunt big game. .270s, 30-06s, etc are pretty much hold on accurate out to 300 yards if you sight them in correctly and realistically. Once you get past the 300 yard threshold you really need to start taking distace into consideration and accounting for that in your aim.
