Tikka T3 Lite 7mm-08 Rem/Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42mm BDC 140gr Nosler Accubond/42gr Varget Colorado 1st Rifle Season @ 255 yards - 15 yard recovery Not much to the story - found a spot on public land that was a little harder to get to than most, hiked in before daylight opening day, glassed him up right at legal shooting light, and shot him about an hour later. Third elk with this rifle and load, 1st bull. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/CO2013-04_-_Copy1.jpg)

Real nice bull. I blew my chance on Tuesday morning for a pic like that. Really pretty rack on that one, like the ivory tips.

Too cool! Great all around chambering!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Good to know his testosterone doesn't make him bulletproof!
Seriously great bull and nice consistent rifle! That sure provides a boost in confidence, eh?
