Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Next Year - What Rifle, Scope, Caliber, Bullet for Elk

50 caliber muzzleloader, sans scope. We can hunt bulls during the rut with a rifle, but that's what it's gotta be unless you're on an RFW ranch. No scope, no sabots, 50 caliber minimum.

If I get a second tag for a rifle season, I'd use the NULA 280 that should be arriving in the next couple of weeks. Probably with a 2.5 X 10 NXS mounted on it. Probably shooting 150 grain NBTs at about 3,050.
