[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 973955, member: 14172"] Thanks for the input! I'm going with the 30-06 just in case we are walking for long periods of time up and down the mountains and not on horseback. I have a 7WSM that is my long range rig that shoots great with the berger 180gr hybrids, but I don't want to be walking up and down those mountains with a #16 gun! The outfitter had mentioned that the majority of the shots are between 1-200 yards due to the conditions where they hunt at which is another reason going with the lighter rifle. I just bought a new pair of Danners for the trip. I've always had good luck with Danners and find them really comfortable, at least the ones I've been fortunate to get issued have been. Ordered them last week so I have time to break them in and ensure they are good enough to walk around all day. I've heard about the wolf in that area which has me a little nervous especially since who knows how long it will be before I can afford another elk hunt. However, the whole experience of just horsebacking into there and the scenery will be worth it. Another bucket list about to be checked off, hunting out west :D [/QUOTE]
