Favorite Elk Rifle
 

I won a Tikka in 300 WSM. I plan to use that this year with 165 grain Barnes TSX bullets.

Top pick for me is the .338 Win. Mag. Never had an elk run away from it, and it is big enough to take care of just about anything that may try to tke your game.

I will be taking a Rem 760 in .308 for my first ever elk (and later moose) hunt this fall.... It is the one I have right now that I consider a good enough gun... if I can't get it to shoot.. it will be a .300WSM that will find the gun locker...

Savage 7mm mag.

I still use my 6.5 Rem Mag.With 160gr Hornady Round Nose.Works great for Elk,Bear and big Pigs.It is a little to much for Deer.

ColoHunter,
Good looking rifle; looks like a great long-distance shooter. Where-abouts do you hunt? I've hunted on the Grand Mesa, but been going up near Steamboat Lake SP last few years.

MntMike2,

Thanks Mike. I do love this rifle longest kill on an elk was 498 yards.

I was born and raised around Grand Junction. I mainly hunt elk on the Uncompahgre, but have also hunted the Grand Mesa, Bookcliffs, and John Brown for elk.
