Funny how that works.

None of the rifles below are any damn good for elk - stunts all.

Top to bottom:

Marlin 1895, .45-70
Marlin 375, .375 win
Marlin 336CS, .30-30
Browning B92, .44 Mag

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
