Will we need as many threads?

Recently we had:

.300 Savage for elk
Elk with a .270
.30-30 for elk what bullet...
.338 Federal (you guessed it) for elk
7mm-08 what bullet for elk of all things
8x57 Mauser - for elk
7 Rem. Mag. - special new kind corelokt for elk?
.264 Win Mag. for elk

Here is it Elk hunting in a nut shell:

Cartridges are more alike then different.

Placement, bullet, cartridge (if in doubt - .30-06 Sprg.)

Wool and hunt the wind.

Best binos you can afford.

Scope is secondary - midrange variable (max. 10x).
Pick a reliable one.

Physical condition is more important than MOA - best is both.

Plan for when you have your elk down - logistics.

Above are not mine, just bits picked up around the fire.
I thank other posters for their contributed wisdom.

Rant over. Flame on.
