[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 831802, member: 35183"] I'm not suggesting you do anything to your 243 !!! Just suggesting you could easy throw together a nice accurate rifle in a more suitable Elk caliber and not be out $2000. For the hunt I am sure you could borrow the scope of your 243 - and to verify the drop of the rifle. I have built several guns now for around $750 without optics. Particularly if you look for a used Savage 112 with a good laminate stock as the donor you can really keep the bill down. I don't understand the basic premise: Most people are not "1 rifle shooters". An Elk hunt is the perfect excuse to get another rifle. Most of us get the elk guns long before there is any plan in place to go hunting. Once you are equipped and ready, then one can make an elk hunt happen many different ways. But to have a tag and just want to work with your woodchuck/coyote/whitetail gun is a bit odd.... [/QUOTE]
