[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2172745, member: 43504"] Agreed. If you are looking to hunt elk I would recommend a 300 WSM. The tikka action is like a medium action so you could really lengthen out a very heavy bullet on a short action magnum if you are reloading. Recoil would also be manageable with the lighter bullets or with a muzzle break. get the lefty option and re-barrel and upgrade the stock as your budget allows. For elk, most people feel more comfortable with the option to go with a heavier bullet so think about a 7mm or 30 caliber bullet head with enough energy to shoot at distance. 7-08 and 308 are fine out to 300 yards but much beyond that, and energy and velocity necessary for good bullet expansion for elk is lacking.
