Not a typical elk rifle, but this one has been bloodied several times. One one trip it was used by 6 guys in camp to fill tags, another time by 8 guys. It has yet to bust a bull so I guess it is a cow gun. All of the elk taken were between 500 and 1187 yards.

It is too heavy to get very far from the truck with, but I have toted it a couple miles, once.

This is a little 280Ai I built between seasons. My wife bloodied it thanksgiving day. I am going to try and get at least one more with it in a couple days. 162 A-max give elk bad dreams.

I have too many rifles that are considered elk rifles to clutter up this thread with them, but these are a couple used this year.
