Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Can this Elk rifle be beat?

As GDV indicated bullets, powder, and rifles have come a long way in just a few years. In the 70's a MOA rifle was something to be cherished, and like Bigfoot, everyone had heard of one, but no one you knew had actually seen one. CNC/CAD machinery made hand fitting a distant second place and now even rifles less than 500 dollars are MOA or better. Boddington just wrote an article that said the 30/06 is now probably the best elk caliber out there now days. Due to the advances in powders and bullets. Boddington for many years was a 375 H&H/340WB/8REMmag proponent for elk. Especially if it was a hunt he was paying for. I'll continue to hunt my 338/375 rifles for elk until I can't climb the mountain anymore.
