OK I read through 10 pages of this back and forth and I couldn't take it anymore. It reminded me of a tennis game going back and forth.. Only it ended up 1 against what, 10? I've never been elk hunting so I'm no expert. As far as I'm concerned if you can do it legally and ethically use a 17 Remington if you want. As for me, ifn I ever get a chance to go for an elk I'm probably going to use something bigger like my .270 or one of my .30-06s or maybe God forbid, my 7 Mag or my .300 WBY.. But I'm a neanderthal and I go by the theory that if little was equal to big they would have put .22s on battleships. But that's just me. I'm not getting into this pissing contest because I have never been elk hunting and though I think a .243 is a little on the light side, I can't in good faith argue with people who have been there-done that.

What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!
