Your Elk Hunting Rifle

[mtnbound]

My first elk kill was with a 243 lever action Browning which was a long time ago but now I find myself back using the same caliber but a different cartridge. The 6CM is my go to for everything.

Shot my first elk (a cow) with my Ruger #1 in 7 Rem Mag with a 139gr Barnes loaded to about 3200fps…last season I bought a Ruger m77 in 338 Win Mag…shooting 225gr Barnes ttsx at 2878fps…can wait to harvest one with that!

Hopefully I'll be killing a couple cows with a 223 this year. Everything is ordered minus the rifle. Supplies are trickling in and in the next few weeks I hope to dial a 77tmk load in and put it to work.
I've killed plenty with an 06 and a 300 WM so hoping to fill the freezer with elk killed from a 223!

This is like asking me which is my favorite kid. Not sure about favorite, but in about ten days I'll be heading west with my Gunwerks Magnus chambered in 28 Nosler, wearing a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 and a SilencerCo Scythe Ti.

Trusty ol Rem 700 in .30-06 is what I've used for most of my rifle hunts. Occasionally the old BLR in .308 if I'm gonna be in timber and want something a little shorter and handier to wield. But this year it's my new Bergara 7prc.

Switched it up this season with a new rifle. Scratched a wood stock rifle the last time out and it was hard to stomach. Went with a high performance budget build IMO
.78 grouping
Browning X-Bolt OD Green in 300 win Mag. 180 Grain Nosler Accuabonds. Leupold VX-3HD windplex

Just broke it in this past week and removed the muzzle break after the first shot - ringing ears with double ear pro

I know that range. I can almost hear it from my house!
