[QUOTE="orion2000, post: 951645, member: 32578"] I ain't no expert. But, hunting at 8-12K ft elevation, you will want as light a rifle as you can shoot accurately and tolerate the recoil... Think 7 to 8 lbs all up. And as weight goes down, recoil goes up. And as the recoil goes up, it becomes harder and harder to [I][B]consistently[/B][/I] place the bullet where you want it to go... A significant portion of elk killed each year are taken with a a single shot from puny little cartridges like the .270 Win and .30-06. Find a rifle that is comfortable for yo to shoot and then focus on ensuring the bullet goes where it needs to do it's job... [/QUOTE]
