I'm going elk hunting next month in Colorado with my father and bunch of older guys. Never been after elk before. As I understand it, there is a fair chance I will have to make a long shot. All of my bolt rifles are old sporterized ww2 relics. I do however have an LR-308 16'' with decent optics and I am able to get fantastic accuracy out to 300 yards.
Is hauling a 9lb. semi around the mountains practical? I know that most of the guys will probably jab fun at me asking if I'm going into battle etc. etc. I just can't rationalize dropping a pile of money on a good quality bolt gun that I'm going to rarely use. Any thoughts or recommendations?
