[QUOTE="mark223, post: 1708777, member: 16109"] I don't hunt elk or much of anything over 300 lbs. But as a kid in the 60's I worked for a man that hunted elk every year and in most of the northwestern states. He used a 30-06 too. It was an M-1 with an offset 4x scope. I thought it felt awkward and preferred to use his M-70 Win, also in 30-06. When I could afford (kind-a afford), a gun of my own I ordered a sporterized 303 Brit out of the back of Outdoor Life for $35 bucks. I was 16 years old!. I still have it. A few years after I got married I bought a Sav 110 in 30-06. I've never shot an elk with it but I have loaned it to several guys who have shot elk with it. Then I got fancy and bought a Browning Stalker A Bolt in 308 win. I've never killed anything with any of them that I couldn't have harvested with any one of the other guns. I'm going antelope hunting the first week in Oct in WY. I'm also 71 and getting this melencolly desire to relive a bit of my youth, so I'm seriously thinking that I'll dust off the old 303. I'm sure I can get within 200 yds of a speed goat and I'm sure the old British war horse is still more than enough gun drop him in one shot. [/QUOTE]
