Would you have a full blooded “Elk Rifle” just for those occasions or would you have a deer rifle in a caliber that is adequate for elk size animals now and then. What would your set up be rifle, cartridge and optics? I do have some strictly deer rifles. I admit I was mostly bored making this post and wanted to see if opinions had changed much with the new cartridges out in the last few years. Still looks like a lot of the same answers, 270, 7mag, 308, 30-06, 300 Mag with a few 6.5 Creedmoors thrown in. Last edited by ridgerunner_ky; 09/27/21.
