270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308 vs 30/06
Maybe with hand loads, but looking at 600yds with something like a store bought 180gr Nosler accubond versus the comparable elk cartridge in the .270 (150gr) and 7RM (168gr)… and both the .270 and 7RM drop considerably less (about a foot) and carry more energy at the 600yd mark…they’ll likely do... -
270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308 vs 30/06

Help deciding on which RF Binos around $1400 -1500 range.
Good choice…hard to beat, especially since Vortex doesn’t limit the lifetime warranty on electronics like many others -
Which Garmin Handheld?
I just use my phone and OnX…download the maps for offline use I want for where I’m hunting. It gets used far more than my handheld gps anymore- EMAZ

Elk hunting boots
Haven’t tried Irish Setters, but love the various pairs of Danners I own. On my Danners, I typically go up a half size versus what I wear in regular running/tennis shoes for best fit -
Looking for rifle recomendations
I think at that budget, it’d be hard to pass on a tikka…if you can go up to ~$2k opens up more options -
Personal protection handgun for women
I’d take them with you to try out slides…the S&W Shield EZ would be on the short list to try…the Sig P365 would be another -
