Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Old Shoulder Friendly Elk Rifle

I’m getting long in the tooth too. Steel knees, back surgery, neuropathy in the legs, heart giving issues.
I sold my 350 Rem Mag 600, my 338’s, and my 416 Rigby. I suppose I’ll continue selling the rifles that give a little more kick. (Good thing is bullets have improved so much over the years.) i bought a suppressor for the 375’s and 35’s. I have one for 30 calibers and smaller. Suppressors really cut recoil.

I think the 30-06 is a very good cartridge for elk. I hunted elk with smaller, while I used to hunt with the 350 and 338’s.

I think I’ll get a WY tag this year, I hope. I’m not sure I’ll be trying for an out of state license again.
