Need an new Elk Gun!

[solidstars43]

It’s hard to go wrong with a Tikka T3X in .308. Tons of ammo options, can find it anywhere, and it has plenty of power for elk especially if it’s inside of 200 yards.

Look at a stainless version as it’s a little more weather resistant.

Make friends with @EuroOptic so they hook you up.

EVERYONE wants a suppressor...it's just not gonna happen. Money and other things involved. People can preach it all day, but for some, its not happening. I need two guns.



It's a pickle for sure but I have some time so I'm in research mode.

can afford to "need" two guns but cant afford a suppressor? Can you afford a scope to mount and bullets to shoot it?

Whats the pickle?

WTS Thread 'Rem 700 LSS 300 RUM'

Yesterday at 11:58 AM

This Remington model 700 Laminated Stock/Stainless is in excellent condition and is bone stock except for the addition of a Sims Limbsaver recoil pad, which has a very noticeable effect on the taming of recoil. The original owner who is a local friend of mine fired less than a box of ammo without ever hunting it, and I ended up firing about 40 rounds through the rifle and taking it on one hunt.

After drawing a Oryx tag on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, I had Leupold set me up with a VX-3 4.5-14x40 with the duplex reticle and a custom turret for the Nosler Custom 200 grain...

...and I have a stockpile of the Nosler Custom Ammo that it's set up for, plus several boxes of other premium 300 RUM factory ammunition.

One of us was in much higher class of movies than the other.

Where's my Minox at?!?!

Had the same dilemma a few years ago. I went 300wm. I debated 300PRC, but during covid it was impossible to find ammo. Availability was a major factor in my decision. Although it is threaded, I don't run a suppressor or brake and find the recoil quite tolerable. Seekins PH2, rifle bare is 7.2, and with everything but the bipod, just a hair over 9.6 lbs. It's a tack driver and will do 1/2 moa if I do my job.

Maybe you missed the point I'd like to have a backup gun as well...cause nothing like driving 20 hours, spending $1k+ on a tag, and having gun issues, miles back off grid and not having a spare...hey, but at least I'd have a can on a bunk gun, right????

No, I can't afford a scope. Was looking at iron sights or possible taping a match stick to the barrel. I reload with brass from gun ranges, whittle down rocks for bullets and concoct my own powder from used fireworks. . Maybe I'll fabricate my own can from a 2liter coke bottle.

Is it just me, or is he kinda snarky for a guy asking the same question twice, years apart, who doesn’t know the difference between cartridge and caliber?

Yes, it holds 4 joints or two swisher sweet blunts.
