Kimber 84 Classic in 7-08 loaded with 160 Accubonds ahead of H414. It was a combo hunt and I didn't get an elk that year but got a muley. The other rifles in camp were three .300 WBYS and a .30-.378 WBY! They were probably thinkin, 'poor rookie doesn't know any better!'.

Ruger tang safety 7mm RM with a Swift 3-9 scope 150 grain NBT loaded hot, after we all got deer we went high to chase elk then left early to avoid a big snowstorm so no elk. When the Swift crapped out replaced it with a 3-9 Conquest and got a bull with 160 accubond and a cow that year using Dad's old 30-06 tang safety and 180 partitions.

On another note I killed my first elk with a 348-06 Ackley improved I was using 220gr hornady bullets it was built on a 1917 enfield action set in a nice piece of black walnut and it had to weighed at least 10lbs LOL. My second elk I shot I was using Winchester 88 in a 284 using factory 150gr bullets.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Thanks! It was a first year of production with 98 action. 1938. It's a cool old rifle!
I killed a 350 class elk with that rifle that year!

My Dad's Winchester M70 Pushfeed, 7mm Mag with a 3x9 Redfield scope. That was around 1990 or 91.
I remember getting handed a box of Core-lokts from my Dad, but I don't remember the bullet weight.

No the Husky was made then. I simply rechambered it one afternoon at work. I used Year to refer that particular season I hunted. Sorry for confusion! . I usually stay confused!

Maybe we should have added our age to the post too. I'll start off.
I was 12. 1954

Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 topped with a 3-9 Tasco. Saved up money mowing yards and other chores. It was used when I bought it.
First elk was a 4x5. Killed with a 165 Hot Cor Speer at about 100 yds. Dropped dead with a lung shot.
