Your Elk Hunting Rifle

[mtwarden]

I lugged around my 17 lb 338 RUM last fall and it wasn't too much fun.

Winchester Model 70, 270 win. 126 gr Hammer Hunter, 3240 fps, when I am not killing them with my bow

Exactly haha. Hard to be lightweight with 30” barrel, bipod, Gen 3 Razor, and TBAC 338 Ultra.

Shoots great though!

My daypack doesn’t weight 17lbs…that is a sweet rig

Thanks! Definitely not my go to rifle for every hunt. I think I’ll go with a less chunky rig this fall.

Look on the bright side….all you gotta do to get in elk shape is lug that heavy dude up and down the mountain.

Definitely a nice rig despite the pounds.

Not an elk in the picture, but my Alaska and elk rifle is a Rifles Inc LW 70 in 300 win mag with a Huskemaw 4-16x scope shooting 180gr Nosler E tips.

I was on the fence between my old trusty Ruger M77 7mm mag and my Tikka T3x 6.5CM. just based on shootability and where i drew my tag this year, I am going to put the 6.5 to the test.

Winchester Model 70 300 RUM. Proof Research 26" Barrel, Timney Trigger, McMillan Stock, Leupold VX-L 6.5-20 x 56 Varmint Hunter Reticle. 200gr Accubond at 3050fps.

It's a bit more to carry around but I haven't minded it so far. It shoots lights out for me and is what I trust the most in my gun safe.

Just finished building a Tikka Roughtech 6.5PRC with the vert grip, recoil pad, victor cheekrest, SRS arca/pic rail and topped with the new Vortex Viper HD 5x25x50. Shoots lights out with the Hornady 147 ELDM and sits right at 9lbs, 9.13 with the YHM Resonator R2 threaded on

Which Arca/pic rail did you go with?

Which Arca/pic rail did you go with?

The SRS hunters rail made for the Tikka. Bolted right up perfectly. Really like it
