Poot, the Kimber Little Sky in 308 is my next... love the round. Got a Leupy 2-7x33 LR waiting. Need some Talleys and I'm good to go (it's for my son to use... right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />).

Anything below a 338 is foolish at best <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Elk deserve better, please get a suitable caliber. The .308 Winchester is probably my favorite cartridge but it's the lightest thing I'd consider on elk. The 7mm-08 is no better than the .243. Neither are elk cartridges.

Neither are elk cartridges. You�re right, what in the hell has gotten into me. A 7-08 is a pop gun and those majestic elk deserve far better. Thanks for setting me straight. I have never seen an elk��..are they really that big???

As Yogi Berra said, "its dejavu all over again." Once more Swampman, the .243, 7/08, and .308 are all based on the same parent case .024 to .065 difference in bullet diameter just ain't gonna matter that much. Put a good bullet (i.e. TSX, Partition, Northfork, etc.) from any of these calibers in the right spot and the only problem you'll have is skinning an elk and toting the meat home. If nothing else at least Swampman is consistent... Consistently Stoopid <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> HBB

Never shot an elk, but the 25-06 and 7 Rem Mag are fine long range varmint killers. Have used both on prairie dogs and coyotes.

I recomend he use a 416 Rigby for Elk, then his 338 will be a flat shooting varmit round in relative terms.
