[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1508929, member: 33159"] I just read a post on another website from the very knowledgable Jeff Brozovich (Broz on this site) about elk hunting and desired caliber. Jeff mainly hunts elk and he said that in his opinion you need at least a 30 cal or 338 cal. Not saying that 7mm or less won't get it done, just in his experience, 30 cal or bigger just works better. If you want something light and a bigger caliber, look at something like a Christensen Arms 338 Lapua. I have one of the Classic models. It weighs only 7.1 lbs without a scope. I took it mountain goat hunting on Kodiak Island in October and it wasn't too heavy, and it worked perfectly. Like I've said before, my dedicated elk rifle is a 300 WSM but I wouldn't hesitate to use the 338 Lapua [/QUOTE]
