I think that’s an awesome hunting setup. People have lost their minds with the LR craze. The instabros have got everyone convinced you have to have a custom rifle with carbon wrapped barrel, first focal tacticool scope, shooting sub MOA hand loads to kill a deer, elk, or whatever. Reality is that rifle with Walmart ammo will kill 99% of everything that dies in NA this season.
FWIW, I have a few custom rifles, carbon fiber tripod, tacticool scopes, all the shooting goodies, and gadgets, I love banging steel and shooting matches, but when I go hunting I prefer to keep it simple.

I came back just to read this again.

Did you end up getting the rifle and scope? How did it work out?

^^^^ Not yet. Stuck at home in this freezing weather and mulling it over.

Go for it. Tikka’s are great. .270 will be good for anything you want to hunt. Elk included. The only thing I would maybe change is if you’re planning to shoot out to 400 you might want something more than a 6x
