Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Semi-auto for Elk?

Back in the early 80’s some guys were running BAR’s in 300 Win for elk...That lasted a few years then many of those Brownies got relegated to timber gun action only... Bolt rifles have always ruled the landscape on the Oregon Coast.

John Burns may come along and provide evidence that a modern day tuned up AR platform can get it done near and far on elk and deer...

I actually own a Browning Bar Mk3 in 300wsm specifically for timber work. IMO it’s a better choice than the older BAR due to their heaviness...My Mk3 is light, fast handling, and surprisingly accurate for an auto loader 30 cal.
