Well I feel under gunned. I'm using a Savage 99 in .300 , this year again. Irons no scope. I will bring a scoped rifle in 30-06 just for drill! Lots of good info here, wading through it is interesting. Many all saying the same thing.
Nothing wrong with that. My elk hunting partner packs his 1949 Winchester model 94 30-30 half the time. That rifle is so cool, it is missing all of its bluing and finish on the wood stocks. I used to feel sorry for the rifle, but have come to appreciate it over the years. The last elk he shot with it was a wounded spike. He shot it in the back of the head as it ran past him. He's the funniest guy because he despises most cartridges for elk hunting. Cant stand the 7mm rem mag for some reason. I think in his mind, he thinks the only good elk cartridges are the 338wm and his 30-30..
