[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2307483, member: 118816"] No Worries!!! A 270 Weatherby is more than enough to put down the biggest Elk down there as long as the round is placed into the boiler room. Practice before going out into the woods or mountains. As always I will say, "Try to keep your shots to 300 yards or less." It's not that the .270 cannot take down an Elk at longer distances, it's that the shots get trickier and being able to place the round accurately beyond that distance becomes a balancing act between elevation, unpredictable mountain winds, uphill or downhill shots and the list goes on. Make sure that you have a quality scope on your rifle, you will need one. Tactical type scopes are preferred if you become familiar with it and how to operate it and what settings to use at different ranges. While I have a Diamondback Tactical 6 x 24 x 50 on all of my rifles (Except the .22) a 4 x 16 x 44 would most likely do a good job for you without breaking the bank. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING. 👩🦰 [/QUOTE]
