New guy here. Enjoy reading the thread. Been hunting my entire life. Mainly deer. Grab a good bolt 243 win and run a 100 grain Hornady interlock at 2800 to 2900 fps and keep your knife sharp. Wont kick bad and will fill freezers no problem. I got my son a vanguard youth model. Very accurate and tough gun. Just my opinion. That heavier bullet from the -08 or creed will help with an elk thought. A 6.5x55 would be cool.
