Four quick questions I am just curious what everyone else is taking afield for Elk this year.
Which Rifle, scope, caliber and bullet are you using for Elk this season?
I am going with my old standby's:
Remington 700 Classic
Leupold 3.5x10 variable with A/O
7m/m Remington Magnum
160 grain Nosler Partitions
Good luck to all
