Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting The 300 Wby Mag for elk- is there anything better?

When hunting anything in the mountains I would rather have a light weight rifle to a heavy ole Mark V with a 26" barrel.

Caliber/recoil range around 7RM, 300 WSM would be maximum for me.

Sizzling velocity used to be preferred before the scopes got better. Now you can twist a turret or use a ballistic style reticle and extreme velocity is no longer required for long range hits.
