[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 975909, member: 81139"] Lol... I certainly wasn't dogging some of the nice high power, high velocity caliber offerings, I was just surprised to see only (2) 30-06 A single 308, & several 270 variants listed in 10 pages of posts. Shocking. Certainly more power on a hardy animal like an elk is nice, especially as distance increases, but I've found the short action 308 as well as the 30-06 to be more than sufficient to humanely take even the biggest bull. With proper bullets, ability to read the wind correctly, and good fundamental marksmanship, many of the non- mags are more than capable of taking elk. There's only about another 150 or so rifles I would love to own, some of which were listed in prior postings, however, I always seem to come back to either the 308 or 30-06 for pretty much all big game. Guess my age is showing!!! :D [/QUOTE]
