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

I was 19 and had to go to western MT. to hunt elk. Used the family rifle, a 95 Winchester. No one I knew hand loaded. We all shot 180grain Silver tips out of the old 30-06. It came with buckhorn sights and they worked whether you were on foot or horse back. It is still in the family.
