I morphed from an '06 fan into a mid-bore junky for Elk and larger. So, in other words, you have no first hand information, just biases you’ve never actually tested. My suggestion is take one of your Swedes and use it on elk for the next 20 years... you might be surprised what it’s capable of. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery
