[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1287551, member: 30902"] More than adequate with the right bullet and good placement. Proper shot placement is more important than anything else. I'll shorten a long story but for my dad's first elk hunt he spent what to him at the time was a big wad of money on a brand new LH 700bdl 7RM complete with a Bushnell BDC scope. He spent a year getting just the right custom load for it and shooting as frequently as he could to familiarize himself with the new set up and was convinced by the time he left he was really set up right. Scope fails him, fogs up and freezes up on the second day of the hunt but he had taken his thirty plus year old Remington 760 30-06 still wearing the 4x weaver that came on it new. Killed his very nice bull elk with it on the last day of his hunt shooting factory 180gr silvertips. [/QUOTE]
