Perfect elk rifle? Not for me. I simply don’t feel the need to burn that much powder. I have an old M70 in 280 that goes well under 7 pounds before mounts and scope. About 7 1/2 all up? I’d not fret shooting anything with it, even big bears. I like a lightish, compact gun. On the occasion I get stuck crawling through thick brush or climbing over a stretch of blow downs, it’s nice to have a short and light rifle in hand. No way I would make it through slung.

Great looking land! Good luck drawing that elk tag. What state?




Thanks MadMooner. The land is in Colorado. I am going with an OTC tag this year in a nearby unit. And will keep trying to get one for the unit in which my land sits. I did get a bear tag for the unit where my property is.
