Mr. Burns: MAYBE there's NOT 1 PERFECT elk rifle for EVERYONE??

RECOIL is an individual THING! ! So How About This?

The BEST ELK rifle, cartridge for us would be:

The LARGEST caliber, cartridge IN the LIGHTEST rifle ONE can

shoot CONFIDENTLY. It has been said in this thread you CARRY, tote, and think about DRAGGING a heavy rifle. Your carry it much more than shoot it.

In big game, (elk, moose, bear) BIGGER is better.

For whitetail you can be OVERGUNNED. There is no need for excessive power and destruction.

The larger the game the larger caliber, cartridge is justified.

SO, use the largest & lightest gun you can shoot CONFIDENTLY.

That's MY PERFECT ELK RIFLE.
