My elk hunts are typically backpack hunts... going into a wilderness area with enough to stay out for a number of days. Think steep country. Weight is important.

Anymore my elk hunting rig will be a Kimber Montana 84M/L chambered in either 7-08, 308 or 270, though I wouldn't hesitate to use a 260.

This year will be with my 308.

Mileage varies day to day.
