[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1836244, member: 109378"] Prolly any rifle that will get a strong solid bullet of about 140-200 grs into the animal with 1200(ish) foot pounds of remaining energy at the range you hunt. Most guys go way over gunned IMO but better I suppose than too light. I like .270 Win (140 gr BTTSX), 7mm-08 (145 BLRX), 7 Rem mag (160 Federal Trophy Bonded), 308 Win (165 Sie Game Changer), 30-06 Springfield (165 BTTSX or Game Changer). I own all those in very light rifles. Furthest Elk shot was at 500 yds with 7mm Rem Mag. [/QUOTE]
