My conclusion is that the 7-08 is a very capable choice for elk.
I've killed many elk with the 30/06 and 338 and they work great as well. But, for those thinking the 7-08 is marginal for elk, you need to take perfect shots, you have to be within 200 yards, etc. demonstrates to me that they havent seen it used much on elk.
Nice animals in those pics Buzz. I agree.
