I remember reading years ago a statement by John Jobson I believe. He said, concerning elk hunting, "If you see someone carrying a 300 Savage he probably knows something you don't."

As a couple others suggested the 300 is also fully capable of dumping an elk. You already have an adequate elk package. I'd suggest the Whelen as primary and also take the Sav99 for backup.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
