6.5 or the 7-08.
In a Tikka. I have a 7-08 in a Tikka, and had a 6.5X55 in a Tikka. I wish Tikka/Sako would get with the program and offer the 6.5 Creedmoor in a T3.

If Tikka ever sees fit to chamber the Creedmoor in a T3 Lite, I will own 2.

no matter what you 'think', you've just been proved wrong...... Nope. Again, just because it worked that time still doesn't make it a good choice for 688 yard shots on elk. Has no place for it, are much better options.

Has no place for it, are much better options. How much deader would it have been if something "much" better had been used in that video? How does a .308 hole through the heart kill better than a .243 hole? Does the critter live with a .243 hole but die with a .308?

Well, it's settled then. Taco says the 243 is too anemic/anaemic, however you spell it. And the Creed is only good for prairie dogs. That leaves only the 7/08, I reckon.

I guess 900 yard head shots are a good idea too, except "for those that can't shoot"

Curious, where do you think the cutoff is for a 243 on elk? Obviously think it is a great choice for 700 yards. What about 1000? Or 1200? Or why stop there if you're accurate enough, like you said. How about 2000 yards?
I like the 243, but not for 700 yards on elk

Or ignore the question entirely. What is your cutoff? I've been clear on my stance. To me the 243 is a poor choice for 700 yard elk shots. Very clearly stated.
