Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting What rifle did you set foot with on your rookie elk hunt?

My first elk hunt was with a Model 54 in 270, with a peep sight. The rifle was handed down to me from grandfather, to Dad to me. The cartridge was a core locked 150 grain and I got a 5x5 raghorn bull at about 60-70 yards. The year was 1973, and the rifle was mfg in 1931.
