That's a nice looking buck ya got there!

Try the Federal Gold Metal Match .308 first in 168 gr and 175 gr. If it works you can buy it for about $1 per round if you look around.

Nice looking rifle!
-
If you don't mind experimenting you might try removing the riser that's on the stock and build up 1/2″ under it.
-
Very nice! Have fun at the class.

Welcome to the forum. You should be able to run a heavier bullet than the 140 gr. When I had a 7mm Mag I was using a 160 gr Nosler.

One of the popular bullet weights for the .308 is 175 grain. For Elk you will want to limit your shot distance so that you have enough energy to get the job done.

If that's a wood stock that does seem really high.
The Accuracy International Chassis System says to torque to 6 N-m which is about 53 in-lb. That's a solid piece of aluminum for that system.

Is it possible the case is hitting the windage turret and bouncing back into the port?
-
Which cartridge is this?
-
with a 42mm objective I would go with low rings. Those are about 0.9″ high. The rail will give you a little space between the action and the scope rings.

I've got a T3 Varmint in 22-250 and it's one of my favorite rifles. It loves the Sierra 55 gr Blitzking with Varget powder. It sports a Burris XTR-II scope on it.

If the new rifle comes with rings I would see if I could use those first. As a next choice for hunting/target I would use the Warne rings as was suggested. For the most rugged use I would go with a rail screwed down onto the receiver and rings that clamp to the rail and scope.
As for rifle hard case the Pelican is an excellent choice but if you don't need that much protection there are other choices. Most outdoors and sporting goods stores have some to choose from.
Something that would be nice to have is a bipod. Harris is a good choice or if you have some extra $$ then go with an Atlas.
Enjoy!

That looks really nice! Shoots good too.
