some fine looking rifles you men have.

as for my elk rifle, picture in your mind a ruger mk2, wood/blue, 30-06, with a 3x9x40 leupy and 180gr partition handloads.

this is a great thread - sure hope more folks post pics.

Mine isn't an ELK rifle by most definitions, but it is my favorite rifle and I've shot 2 elk with it. So therefore it is an elk rifle sometimes.
It's a blueprinted Rem 700 .264 Win Mag 27" Lilja #3 stainless barrel, maple stock in the Gary Goudy classic by Great American, I finished it with Laurel Mountain Forge Honey Maple stain which I diluted 80% with denatured alcohol, then 2 coats of sealer, and lots of Permalyn finish. Glass bedded, teflon coated.

And dang Tracks,
Lot of slight variations on the same thing. I guess you know what you like.

looks like an elk rifle to me.

i like it

My 300 Winchester Magnum
P/F Win model 70 26 inch RKS Gain Twist barrel
Last elk was killed with 150gr Power Points.Load 150gr E Tips now.

That's only half the .338 shooters. I don't buy many kinds of bullets.

These two should be going elk hunting with me this fall.

1. Rem 700 BDL/SS in 338WM as it came from the factory. Bedded into a LSS mountain rifle stock. Leupy DD rings/mounts and a Leupy VX-III 2.5-8x36. 9 pounds even all loaded up including sling. It likes 225gr Nosler Partitions at 2850fps MV.


2. Rem 600 in 338Fed. Bedded into a McSwirly mountain rifle stock w/ ADL triggerguard. 21" Douglas #2 barrel. Talley mounts and now has a Zeiss Diavari C 3-9x36. 7 pounds, 3 ounces all loaded up including sling. It likes Hornady 200gr SPs at 2550fps MV.

Kimber montana .260

Heavy weight long range rig..30/378 Weatherby

Light weight rig.. Remington 700 TI in .308

Weatherby Vanguard 300 WM, Pacific Research stock, Leupold VX-III 4.5x14x40 with Burris Signature rings and bases, and a Harris bipod.

So far, two bulls to its credit, one shot each.

Gotta go low-budget here with a factory built 700 ADL in 7mm Rem mag topped by a 3-9x Leupold and sending 175 gr Nosler Partitions downrange at 2900+ fps... Okay, a trigger job was done...

Sometimes I think we dote too much on the rifles and don't necessarily pay enough attention to the hunting.

Remington 700 LVSF in 7-08AI
McMillan Stock/Callahan Bolt Shroud
Leupold T2 3-9x40 LR Duplex
140gr TSX is its bread and butter....

700 CDL .30-'06, flinging 165 grain Hornady BTSP's or Interbonds. Zeiss 3-9 x 40 in Leupold Dual Dovetails.
