Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 25 06, or even 257 roberts on elk?

Lubbockdave and others.....

I might be mistake here, but aren't there certain states that require at least a 27 caliber for Elk hunting????

If this is the case, then I wouldn't purchase a 25'06, as this could cause you to have to purchase another gun if a hunting opportunity opened up in a state with that requirement.

I love the 25'06 and a close friend of mine has taken several deer and elk with his. He swears by it...

Although, when I had to make the decision for my wife and kiddos this year, we purchased 3, .270's. For my sons, they really enjoy shooting their 270 on the range with Remington's Reduced Recoil rounds. A lady or kiddo could shoot those all day.
