Much depends on the terrain to be hunted, hunting method (ambush, stalk, etc.), and distance to be hiked. It could vary from a .444 Marlin shooting 310 gr. FPGC bullets all the way down to a .280 Model 70 FWT PF shooting 154 gr. Spire Points. Weights vary from 7 lbs to 8.5, and scopes vary from a fixed 3x to 2.5-8x. I "only" have about 8 elk rifles to choose from...
