[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1963806, member: 19988"] Have you thought about a 7-08? Low recoil Great ammo selection When reloading or off the shelf. Get like a 20” or 22” barrel For easy carry in those mountains. That’s a great round for Elk, Moose, even Bear. 140 grain up to 195 grains. I have taken a cow elk just shy of 1000 yards in Colorado with a 260 Rem 140 grain bullet. 1 shot. She prob walked about 20 yards or so. That being said I’m not saying it’s the best elk gun. I’m just say it can do it. Point is this, if a low caliber 6.5 Rifle can do this than why would you need lets say a 300win Mag Or larger to do the same thang at like 500 yards or less? The thangs that make you go hum. Good luck on your build sir. [/QUOTE]
