Well, there you go. You don’t need to buy an elk rifle. Choose the 35 for a primary and the 308 as a back-up.
You do want to have a back-up — stuff happens.
^This right there is what I was about to write ^
But if you have an itch for a new elk rifle tikka T3x In 7mag, 300 win mag. ...Or the 338 if you must have thumper
New limb saver, talley or dnz rings. And scope of your choice. I am 2-10 or 3-12 fan .
My main elk gun is tikka 06 with 3.5-10 CDS dial for 168TTSX and I would take any elk at 400.
Only reason I’m suggesting the magnums is you have 308 and 35W and there might be some over lap with an 06.
