Mine is a Remington model 700 XCR II in 300 RUM with Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x40mm
I'm fussy about rifles. I have not had an elk rifle I was truly satisfied with yet. I'm still searching for that combination of accuracy with an acceptable bullet, both long and short range adequacy, portability, yet enough weight to manage recoil, to all converge in a single package. I came close a couple years ago but the rifle wouldn't give accuracy with a bullet I wanted to hunt elk with.
This year will see me head for the elk hills with a TC Custom Shop .58 Renegade ... since I have a ML-only tag and that's the ML I currently own. It has accuracy issues but if I get within 50 yards, there will be a dead elk.
Next year I return to centerfire but I'm seriously considering switching to handgun, then sticking with that 'til I succeed.
