[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1664356, member: 74902"] If I was gonna have one rifle for western hunting that would include a elk tag every year or so, I would pick something like the 280AI, 7RM, or 300 WSM. I carried a 7RM for 25 years out west for elk and deer, no problems. My favorite carry rifle now for elk is the 300 WSM. It could do deer really well to with lighter bullets or just use a 180 Gr bullet for everything. A brake or just a good recoil pad can make a 300 WSM very easy to shoot. Elk hunting can get kinda expensive and more often than not you will get one shot and it is probably not gonna be an optimal shot either. I actually have two 6.5CM. Loaning one to my brother for an antelope hunt next month. I just personally wouldn't pick one for elk. [/QUOTE]
