[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1187786, member: 67011"] I know exactly how you feel. Me and a buddy are putting an elk hunt together right now. I was dead set on a new rifle. I went back and forth between the 300 wsm and 300 win. I finally decided on the 300 win. I wanted something light enough for elk country but sturdy enough for a longer shot if needed. I was all ready to start shopping when I found out my daughter needs another surgery. So since health insurance is just so great anymore, I've decided to blow the dust off my old 30/06, and hope I can still afford to go. My old 30/06 has killed elk in the past and I'm sure it can do it again. The 30/06 is a great cartridge. It's killed more critters than any of us could probably count. I'm leaning toward a 168 barnes ttsx, maybe the 175 lrx. If neither of those shoot well I'll try some 180 Accubonds. It'll be nice to get my old friend out again. [/QUOTE]
