I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Was going to use stainless classic in either 7 wsm or 338 wsm but Army has other plans going to ntc during 4th rifle season. So no elk hunting

IF I were hunting elk this season, instead of working in Japan, it would defintely be with one of my Model 70s. It is a hard choice between .300 WSM, .338 Win Mag (my only stainless) and .375 H&H -- all LH Classics.

The left handed stainless classics are something to be desired. Post some pics of them if you want. There are some left handed shooters in the Winchester forums. 79s and I both fit that bill... Probably the only thing him and I agree on

My late father in laws' sister was head of Wyoming fish and game in late 60's or 70's. He would go up from S FL and hunt a couple weeks every year, he was a surgeon, he told me the finest gun ever made was a late 50's mod 70 in 338 win mag. I know he had a lot of one shot bang flop on some big animals. His family got tired of eating elk! My wife told me that every time we had game for dinner. I wish I could justify one. SW GA whitetails dont require a 338 win mag. then again when does a pre 64 loon need an excuse... very best on a lot of nice guns. WinPoor

Both of mine were with a Sako. I did, however, have a Winchester with me, so it kinda applies...

Was going to use stainless classic in either 7 wsm or 338 wsm but Army has other plans going to ntc during 4th rifle season. So no elk hunting Man, that is a double kick between the legs, no elk hunting AND NTC.... Good luck brother.

2 elk...not bad for a gimp! ( hows the leg BTW?) It has been almost 8 weeks. I have been able to stand now, for more than 2 minutes for about 10 days. Walking isn't bad at all. I did miss getting around during archery season, but the rest of the season is looking great. Most of that is due to the freezer fillers from yesterday...

Well, I thought I'd just pack my 338 Alaskan around this year. But what's the fun in that?? .. I ended up packing my sniper grey cerakoted classic sporter 30-06 for a couple days, and my FN 300 WSM with the EW barrel, topped with a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42, and Swirly stock I got from good ol Oregon45: Sniper grey cerakoted classic sporter (old reliable): And the old girl looking for some elk: Saw some of these today as it was snowing: I was hot on the trail yesterday. Ran into 10 elk in the thick stuff, but couldn't put antlers on any of them . I know there was a bull in the bunch though!!!!!
