[QUOTE="Snookkatcher, post: 1743635, member: 53775"] I also think it comes down to preference. If your hunting percentage breakdown is 80% deer and 20% Elk, I’d go 7mm. If the opposite, go .30 cal. Elk hunting is a bucket list item for me, they are not really plentiful ( like zero ) here in Fla., so I hunt deer and hogs, here and in Ala. and Miss.. Among a bunch of rifles not really suited for ‘out West’, I have a .270 Win., a couple of 30-06’s, and a sweet Wby. Mark V in .300 Wby. Mag. ALL shoot sub MOA, and yes the WBY. I can shoot with no flinch, it’s been LOP tweeked with a Decelerator installed, and fits me perfectly. It would be my primary rifle if I were to be handed an Elk permit and plane ticket tomorrow, with one of the ‘06’s for a backup. All because, it’s what I have, and have total confidence in. If I had a 7mm Rem. or 7mm Wby., and a .280 or 7mm-08, those are what I would be packing, and not feeling undergunned in the least. [/QUOTE]
