Need an new Elk Gun!

[Pharmseller]

So, what caliber would you choose and why? But again, your only other gun is a 308...keep that in mind when deciding.

oh boy...I guess this was a hard question or they didn't read it.

7mm caliber. Very versatile, great bullet selections. Proven elk killer in my experience.

600 yards max range, but that’s also cartridge specific.

We can talk specific cartridge and bullets, too, but you didn’t ask.

What cartridge is your .308 caliber rifle chambered in?

Didn’t you ask this question two years ago? What are you waiting for? Make a decision, dude!



Hey all-

Excited to join a good group of hunters. I’m a mid west guy looking for a 300 win mag for some elk hunts out west.

I LOVE tikka t3’s but I’ve also heard it’s not fun to shoot in the 300 win mag.

In all seriousness, I’m not looking to break the bank here as I’ll Probably only get a half dozen ek hunts in…bamn lottos! Lol

I have a really nice scope already, so looking to drop “around” a grand on the rifle.

Looking for the obvious:
Light weight
Accurate to 500-600 yards
Threaded barrel as I WANT a muzzle brake

In your opinion, what’s a good 300 min mag that I could put or comes with a muzzle brake?

Thanks!

For myself, I’d get a .223, because I’ve read enough to be curious, and I’ve already decided that my next gun would be something I can use to teach the kids to shoot.
