I tried to look to see if there was a topic like this. If there is one someone let me know if not post some pics of your elk rifle.

Remington Ti 30-06 in an McMillan Edge.

My "twins" from this year. Pre64 and NH FWTs in 30-06

Whatcha' using for a pack there, Brad? Looks nice and compact.

I love these photos. I am realizing that I need to slow down and enjoy myself more. I don't ever think about taking these types of photos while out, but love that the rest of you do.

Thank you!

Looking good there buddy...Here's mine:

Never took pictures in years past, didn't seem to matter, so only one, from NE BC, with the Whelen.



Did manage another critter on the same trip.



Does a head in camp count?

Love pictures like that as they remind me of some great days out hunting.

Carl Gustaf action, Douglas barrel, McMillan Sako Hunter, coated by Eddie, 35 Whelen.

165 Nosler Partitions at 2875 or so. They don't bounce off of elk believe it or no !

These were "out in the field", but not seeing much action this year:

Good looking rifles bsa, out in the field where they are supposed to be.


Mine in the field last year, no elk though. Was watching one from that spot a long ways away.

It goes deer hunting too.

Here is the 338 out in the field this Fall.

Dan Lila/Dennis Olsen custom 7mm rem. elk slayer supreme.

Cruncher goes to Colorado.

Winchester 30 Gov't 06, 180gr SST's takes care of business for me.



Works pretty good on deer also

please excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the black tape around the muzzle of the stainless barrels?

Keeps the air warm in the barrel

Keeps moisture and debris out of the spout and to some degree crown protection!

I hear blue is suppose to be better than black....

Info on that marlin? Great pic btw!

Nice animals and nice rifles on this thread!

Crappy cell phone pic, but the rifle is a first model Newton chambered in 256 Newton. Couldn't find a bull to try it out on, but I have no doubt a 140gr partition will do the trick.

The top rifle is a 9.3X62 in a 1908 Brazilian Mauser

The bottom is a .375 Ruger in an FN action.

Both bulls were shot in NE British Columbia.

Beautiful rifles and nice bulls!

They are all elk rifles, but some have taken elk and others are waiting to do so.

Great thread

Can't find a few others I have (hmmm)?

While black will keep wet and dirt out of the barrel, blue does so as well but with the following advantages:
1. Adds 250fps or more to muzzle velocity.
2. Guarantees .5 MOA accuracy or better
3. Makes the hunter invisible to game


Blue tape - don't leave home without it!

This was actually on an antelope hunt, but I have hunted elk with this .250-3000 and there are elk in the Centennial Valley...

.300WM Winchester M70 Classic Stainless, HS Precision stock, Benchmark barrel.

Plastic stock, Stainless barrel and a borrowed elk, Priceless...

Very nice set up.. That's all elk right there! Great picture!

Is there a problem with plastic and stainless?

I've only killed one elk, so I guess this is my "elk" rifle.

Godogs57, that is a sweet New Mexico bull!! Congrats.

Well let's see if this works. Loved carrying this Kimber 8400 in 325 WSM for my elk hunt. Shoots really straight too.

Kimber Mountain Ascent 280 Ackley Improved.

Before:
Christensen Arms 300 RUM 1-14" Heavy, Rem 700 LA BDL, 165gr Accubond @ 3350FPS, HS Precision Police/Tactical, Timney Trigger, Leupold VX3 6.5-20x50 Long Range

Not the greatest pics but they'll work.

Glad to see that there's still plenty of love out there for blued steel and walnut.

Remington 700 Classic barrel bobbed to 20". Leupold 4x Compact. The mighty 350 REM MAG. Custom elk track stock for good luck.

Took this this morning. T3 270win, DNZ mount, vx3 4.5-14x40 CDS

Great pictures!

Big Swede, I dig the elk print on the stock..

Awesome bull.. I love big 5's.

Mr. GSSP - That is a beautiful piece of wood on the Roberts!

Thanks, its been good luck so far. The little stubby has killed 4 elk. Its a pleasure to pack in the thick stuff here in N. Idaho.

An oldie, scanned from Kodachrome transparency:

Oh, I bet! I can't wait to get the Newton out hunting. 22" tube on it and man, it feels real handy as well. I will have to figure out how to put the elk track on the stock. That is too cool.

Mudhen, great picture and nice bull!

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Getting some good ideas for pictures. I rarely took any photos for the first thirty years that I hunted elk, and still don't take many of dead elk. I am usually too anxious to get them ready for butchering...

Awesome rifle there buddy. I love the fluted barrel on that 338. Sounds like it's got all the refinements a Ruger m77 needs. Is it glass bedded as well?? No doubt it's a good shooter too. I know mine is!!!

really nice pics

How about my elk rifle, out whitetail hunting? I'll be taking this M70 elk hunting next fall.







Hopefully this time next year I will have a dead elk to pose it on!

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.

Lots of great rifles, some fantastic field photos with lots of dead critters and a bunch of ugly pusses.

Some of you boys ought to put a sack over your head before you have your pictures taken.
