Current Elk rifle which would be a favorite if it were a 30-06 rather than a 308: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/brad300wsm/P1000277.jpg)

Yeah, Kimber would have a nice gun, if they would just extend the action on the 84M.
30-06, 270, 25-06.
I think they would sell. I know I would buy one or two. Just for fun.
Take Care..

Brad,
I never get tired of seeing that bull! So, since you sold the 300 WSM, is another fwt. 30-06 in the works?

Brad,
Nice picture.

I haven't got a pic of it with game yet in the new stock, but it's a M70 classic stainless with a Pac-Nor 358 Norma barrel in a standard fill Legend stock. 225 TSX's at 2950 fps. Works for me... ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/RickF/IMG_0432.jpg)
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

This year I was shooting my custom HOWA action, 7 MM Rem Mag., Shooting factory Federal 175 grain SP bullet. I found the bullet lodged just under the skin of the off side. It was a perfect mushroom. ![[Linked Image]](http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/8392/007ld3.jpg) My 2009 Bull elk... (5x3) ![[Linked Image]](http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/7624/012yv9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2381/015yt4.jpg) I just took my "new" elk rifle out this morning for a test drive. It is a CZ 550 Safari in 375H&H. I was a little bit worried about recoil but it was a kitten. Just about the same as this 7 MM Rem mag. Gonna be ahrd to carry them both!
