[QUOTE="fishcreek, post: 2177091, member: 118515"] Always good to see the conversations. So here are my criteria for elk. Minimums: 1500 lbs + of energy at 400 Drop less than 24” @ 400 zeroed at 200 Bullet weight not less than 140 Then that gun you shoot the best (the meat gun) I.e. Confidence is critical in uncomfortable shooting positions Ammo has good construction and 60% weight retention at 50 yards with 2x expansion and BC over .40 This is a fairly decent list of calibers. Most any scope over $450 with at least a 44mm objective and at least 9x upper end power. [/QUOTE]
