I’m sure I own as many or more rifles than the average here, but I still get amused when the discussions turn to elk rifles, and trust me I own most of them. I’m amused because the old goat who introduced me to elk hunting carried his only rifle, a very well worn Savage 340 30-30 with an old 4x weaver scope. He used 170 gr bullet and took over 30 elk since I knew him. His longest shot was 125 yards, but most were less than a hundred. I suspect he knew a good deal more about hunting elk than I could ever hope to know. My favorite rifles I see on this forum are old wood stock jobs that have the bluing worn off and dents in the stock. I tend to think their owners know more than most what it takes to kill an ek
