[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 582966, member: 21869"] Hey. my dad gave me a 243 vanguard when I was a kid. We hunted what is now know as wilderness. He told me to shoot elk in the head. Well I was a kid and it didnt always work out that way.And I chased a few down. That was my first gun and my sons also. Both of our fisrt elk where 5pt.bulls.Know I have had some time behind that rifle and have spent 1/2 my life bow hunting , so a 243 seams like a good bet to me. I would have no problem taking an elk with one at range 4-500. But I WOULD MUCH RATHER have my 340 wm or Norma. And if I have a lite gun the shot choice drops rapidly [/QUOTE]
