Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 300 Savage for elk

I agree, in the savage normal bullets act very well.
I like the 300 savage alot, and when I was the local and new where the game was, it was great.
Now it seems that I have less time to hunt and spend alot of it in unfamiliar territory. Where I hunt, it is 6 point elk or better and shots can be from 10 to 300 plus yards.
Please read this as big elk at extended ranges ( with limited time)
So when push comes to shove I take the ti in 3006 and leave the savage in the safe.
The savage 300 is good but I have more confidence in the 3006 past 250 yards.
Do I like the balance and shootability ( if that is a word) of the savage over the TI, you bet.. but for elk the ti in 3006 leaves the safe and the savage 300 stays home.
For me the 3006 is just a better tool.
The savage with normal bullets is good but the 3006, with 180 A frames gives me mor confidence at extended ranges abd bad angles
