[QUOTE="KineKilla, post: 1929692, member: 114563"] I know there are a ton of Tikka lovers on this forum (and likely for good reason) but personally, I feel my Browning X-Bolt in 7mm Rem Mag is probably just as good. 160gr Accubonds moving around 3,000 will be good to 550-600+ Sounds to me like your outfitter may have had some bad experience with hunters that can't successfully place a bullet where it needs to be to produce a clean kill. This is likely why they are pushing their clients to use more gun than is necessary. Also concerning is that they do not feel they can get a client closer than that for a good shot...but that's a different subject. No reason why your .06 wouldn't be able to kill elk out to 400yds or more if you do your part. [/QUOTE]
