Elk Rifle

I never Elk hunted. But I would use the 30-06 for a few reason. The biggest is because I have one and know it like the back of my hand. You can buy about anykind of bullet style, and grain you want. Also if you reload the combinations are endless. Good Luck!
 
It ain't sexy and it ain't rare. It's a Rem. 700 ADL synthetic in 30-06.

Not a lot of Elk here in SC but I used to hunt Roosevelt Elk in the coast range of OR and the terrain was anything from dense temperate rain forest to clear-cuts and balds where you can see for miles.
 
Personlly I like the Weatherby 30-378 for all my long distance shot's. That is also why I like the caliper, it was developed for long range bench rest shooting and does a fine job at long distance if needed. At the same time it's just as good at shorter ranges so it covers both worlds very well.
 
I figure if I'm ever going on an elk hunt I'll take that as being the perfect opportunity to buy either a Remington 700 in .338 Winchester or a Remington 722 in .300 H&H Magnum...

Why?

Because I've always wanted them... ;)
 
I live out in Utah and like the 7mm Rem Mag. Several of my friends who take Elk every year swear by the .270. In the end, it doesn't really matter what you shoot, as long as you can shoot it.
