[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1267672, member: 7898"] I had an uncle that lived in Idaho that hunted elk with a 256 Newton in a Newton rifle. I've hunted/taken them with Bow and arrow, 25-06, 30-06, 7mm Mag and this year a 254 WM. You say all of your larger rifles are heavy. Define heavy in you book? An 8-10 lb rifle in the appropriate cartridge that you can shoot accurately is what you should take. If that means you're just 'forced' to buy another one, that's just too bad <= sarcasm Then you'll have to post the inevitable "what gun should I buy" post AND the equally inevitable "which scope should I get" post ;) Bottom line, you have 3 really good cartridges that will take an elk. Depending upon the actual rifle build will be the deciding factor. [/QUOTE]
