Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting favorite elk rifle??

It would be my Rem 700 TI in .308 but I wonder how this bad boy would do????

Kimber Montana .325 WSM, Leupold 2.5-8, Talleys, 200-gn Accubond

Tom, are you trolling again?

Lol, you know me.....

Rem 700 in a 8mm rem mag. It will reach out and leave a mark.

8mm mag although I used my 264 mag this year.

That would have to be my 338 win mag, second would be my backwards action m77 in 300 and then if I had to take a spare it would be the old 1917 enfield in the ubiquitous 30-06. I used to have a 300 weatherby (1917 action) that was amazingly accurate and definately hit with authority, this would probably be my go to gun if I still had it.

For the past five years it been a pre-64 Mod.70 restocked in a nice piece of English walnut with a Krieger barrel chambered to .280AI. It wears a Leupold 3x10 with dots. All up it's a little heavy at just under 9lbs, but it's a real shooter. And for the areas I hunt it's just the ticket, at least for me.

Got a 50 gun safe full of favorites. At least 3 get to go on each hunt. This year's favorite is a Montana in 308. One that always goes is a beat up old Rem 700 BDL action in 35 Whelen in a mtn rifle stock. It's accounted for several. But I like for everybody to get their chance. Don't want to hear the grumbling from the safe while I'm working in the shop.

700 ADL, 338-06, 210 Nosler partition.
Works well

same rifle i killed my elk with again this year: ruger mk2, wood/blue, 30-06, 3x9x40 leupy, and 180gr partitions. nice, fat cow.

300 Sav with 150 grain Grand Slams. It is the bomb.

.300 ultra 210gr vld

custom Ruger 338 win mag followed closely bya ruger 300 win mag

Browning A-bolts SS-II 300 Winmag and 325wsm,both are my "Favorite"

Mine is a old custom 338-378 wby, W/a 28" shilen smg brl throwing 225 Nosler accubonds @3375fps. Have been fortunate enough to have taken 4 bulls. Delivers a swift and final decision on any flight plans...Gunner

to me, 30-06 /Leu 3-9 /180 partitons is THE elk rifle. Hard to beat that combo, probably the way I was raised.

Of course in my 20's I had to be smarter so I went 7 rem mag, 300 winnie, 35 Whelen, now Im thinking Id like to pick up a nice 30-06 and just quit messing around with redundant rifles and just hunt more and kill stuff.

This year it was a very accurate, and light Tikka T3 ss/syn in 30-06.

Also I put a Leupold 3.5-10 on it.
