Being considerably older ,I would suggest getting rid of the .33. As time goes on recoil and weight will trouble you more.Contrary to many opinions,elk are not hard to kill. I have killed more than a few ranging from a 50 caliber muzzle loader, 4mag,.308, and 30-06..I did have a 77mm Mag for awhile.It didn't kill any faster or any better. I sent it down the road a long time ago.The.270 will do you just fine for all you hunting


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
