Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Scope Opinion on Elk Rifle.

Beware of mounting the astronomy telescopes on your elk rifle.
A young man in my group had the misfortune of having his scope cranked up to max zoom. His wasn't even that powerful - 3-10 or something. When an elk trotted close by in a very small clearing he could find only hair or branches in his sights. I was grateful he had restraint enough not to shoot and unknown patch of hair.
