[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 877458, member: 12282"] I think your choice depends on how often you hunt elk, versus the other little stuff. 270 is a decent elk bullet, but not always everyone's first choice. Not looking for flames here about the 270 as an elk gun, but just saying. A 7mm offering would be a little sweeter. I built a 7mm RSAUM on my Savage SA. Very pleased... On the other hand, if elk is seldom on your menu and deer, antelope are common, how about a 6mm offering? That's where I am at currently, at least in my thinking and research. A fast 6mm with some of the long heavy 6mm bullets will still recoil less than the 260 or swede, or perhaps about the same, but the bullet is faster. Built right, accuracy should be the same.... Of course, the 6mm is no elk gun. But you intend to keep the Tikka in 270, right? [/QUOTE]
