Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting What rifle did you set foot with on your rookie elk hunt?

I bought a 30/06 760 slide action remington as I was INSTRUCTED too by my mentors as they swore it was the best elk rifle they had ever found, and it worked! but being young and reading almost every elk hunting article posted at the time I soon saved up and bought a 340 wby...the elk shot with either rifle died , but being young I thought the 340 wby did a better job....and looking back I would not change a thing, but I also eventually came to realize the merits of that 30/06 slide action, lighter weight and it cost alot less and the recoil was minimal
