Same rifle/scope/ammo I used to take a cow elk last December:

Rem 700 CDL 30-06
old 2-7x Redfield
165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip handloaded

Or maybe the 200 gr Partition load - I have some of those left and elk seems worthy of that bullet, rifle is still zeroed for the 200 gr bullets.

Worked great on elk last year. If I get a shot this year, I suspect it will work great again!
