[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1569284, member: 82117"] The creedmoor is fine for elk. Don't let all these people convince you that elk are bulletproof. I'd rather have someone with me using a Creedmoor that gas shot it a lot than a guy that's put 200 or less rounds through his magnum anything. 143s kill elk fine in my experience, even at 770. Does a 300 winmag get you a little more room for error, sure it does. But 90% of the shots that will drop them with a 300 mag will drop them with a Creedmoor. Buy what you want, on your budget I'd get a Tikka, stockys vg2 stock, yodave trigger spring and spend the other $800 on glass. Midway has the 3-15 PST gen 2 on sale cheap right now. That would be fine for a budget hunting gun. [/QUOTE]
