[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 500015, member: 1940"] This is entirely possible! With elk on the menu, I would suggest 6.5-284 as a minimum, but my personal favorite is the 7mm rem. mag. I prefer a 26" barrell to maximize velocity. Budget for a trigger job, and has been repeated, a good scope. I'm currently using a Zeiss Conquest in 4.5-14x44 and have found it great for groundhogs (marmots here in western Colorado) beyond 700 yards, and the FOV at 4.5X is just fine for elk in the timber. If it fits the budget, I can highly recommend a Cooper. Mine shoot better than the .5 MOA groups they advertise with no trigger job or other modifications necessary. I'm currently shooting one of their .270's as my elk/marmot rifle. I would be shooting the 7 mag, but they weren't available until this year. [/QUOTE]
