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

I purchased a .243 Win Remington short action. I had the bolt opened up to accept a .378 Weatherby. The case was shortened to 2 1/4" with 45* shoulders slopping to a 1/4" long neck. It held the same amount of powder as a .300 Weatherby. I was still using Tasco World Class 4-14X scopes then. The stock was a Bell & Carlson.
