[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 809965, member: 25760"] The .240 will kill an elk,however; it is not a great choice. Elk are large animals with lots of vitality. I would suggest a .26 caliber minimum. My first choice is a 7mm 08. Lots of great bullets with light recoil. Most of the 6.5's have light recoil and will do the job well. The good old .308 is another great caliber. These all offer a significant advantage over your .240. There is another thread about a rifle for a guys wife. Try the search function and see if you can find it. Has a good number of well reasoned responses. Bruce [/QUOTE]
