Mostly use an old tang safety Ruger in 7mm rem mag wearing brand new leupold vx-III 2.5x8-36 glass
Partition bullets 175s probably, accurately pushed by some retumbo powder at 2950 fps for elk across distant mountain sides or in the tag alder jungles and thick timber stands.  2950! Has that load been across a chronograph? Yep. low deviation and 5 shot average 2948 fps to be exact. Retumbo baby

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

If I can wrangle the permit,7mm Mashburn Super and 175 NPT at a hair under 3100 fps;or 270 Winchester and 130 Bitterroot.
It better be one of these two because that's all I have anymore,at least for the time being.
But then again, that's all I need...
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

300 RUM in a Rem 700 with Nosler Partitions180's at about 3250 fps and a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 with a Z800 plex. Backup is a 7 STW with either 175 or 160 Partitions and the scope keeps getting changed but it probably will be a Nikon 4-14 of some sort with a mil dot on it.

Well, this would be the first year without my 340 B. I had a lot of confidence in it.
Depending on circumstances it would be a 284 or a K95 30/06, both lightweights, the first ultra-so. If flatter, kinder country would avail, it would be a Kilimamjaro 350 Rm or a Ruger AFrican 375 R.
150-gr, 168-gr TTSXs at 2950 and 2875 fps respectively for the first two and a 225- TSX for the 35 at 2800 fps (225-gr Nos Part?) and either the 260-gr Accubond or the 250-gr TTSX in the 375 at 2950.

Just an old smokey, smelly muzzleloader.
Up close and personal.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

It's looking like a 270 WSM will get the nod this year. I looked at another .300 Jarrett, but I've grown tired of heavy recoil. Found a NIB custom Kirby Allen that's going to find it's way here.
I getting married day after tomorrow, so this is kind of a single guys final act... another way of saying a handy excuse to buy a new rifle.

I hope to go with my son for his first elk hunt this year. I'll be taking my .338-06 and he'll have a LVSF/TI in 7mm-08. [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m238/Kevin_Teed/DSCN2039.jpg) [/img]
