Yes, but I would make sure that it didn't have a front sight.You'd shoot at an elk with a 6.5 Grendel?
I would get a control feed m 70 in 270 you can shoot 110 grain to 150 with a 10 twist that is factory. Have a 22 inch 24 inch 26 inch and a 28 inch... I mostly shoot Nosler 150, works very well on moose and elk. I have been loading and shooting 270's since 1953. 60% is confidence in your gun, the rest is your skill...old men been there done that...If you had to choose one rifle to hunt everything from antelope to elk, what would it be? This rifle must use components that are readily available. It must also be a caliber that is inherently accurate. No need to waste 600 rounds of 1000 round barrel life doing load development. I want to build a rifle but can't decide what to build.

What shooting range are you looking for 0-600 yards are longer? I have been looking at all the replies on this and have not seen this one caliber mentioned so I was just thinking I'd askIf you had to choose one rifle to hunt everything from antelope to elk, what would it be?

I lover my 308 Winchester I have three of them. but if I could only have one I would have to pick 270 Winchester.If you had to choose one rifle to hunt everything from antelope to elk, what would it be?

I'm just interested in an example of an inherently un-accurate caliber.
My suggestion for a caliber with COTS ammo is 7mm RM, and for nearly a reload only caliber is .308 Norma Mag.
