A semi-auto isn't what I would chose for an elk hunt. .300WM? Yup, fine choice. But so is a .30-06 and a 7mm RM and a bunch of others.
A mild-mannered, light weight bolt wins hands down. They all get heavy enough at the end of a day of up and down.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
