[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2357983, member: 104437"] For Elk,.. My son, shoots, a Tikka T-3, Super Lite, SS, in 7mm-08, using, the 168 gr. Berger HVLD and a near Max charge load of, StaBall 65 Powder @ 2,765. I use, a Tikka T-3 Lite, ( NON Fluted, Factory, SS 24" bbl. ) in .270 WSM with, Berger 140 gr. Classic Hunters @ 3,185 FPS. Make sure, you have, a Steel Recoil lug and that, the bbl channel is, Free Floated, adequately ( seen, a couple that, "Touched" on, older model rifles ). We use, LimbSaver recoil Pads and Elay Precision, Trigger Springs, setting Triggers at a Crisp, 1.5 Pound pull and carry the Rifle with, NO shell in Chamber ( Mag Full ). AVOID,.. Heavy Scopes and Mounts ! Sons rifle, is UNDER 7.5 pounds mine 2-3 ounces over at, 7 lbs 10 ounces ( I use, Steel Zee Rings and have, a slightly thicker, longer, 24" Bbl ). We love our Tikka's ! WHY ??,.. these 2 Cartridges & Loads, "can" Kill Elk to,.. 700+ Yards. We've gotten, 3 Elk with, them and we walk from, 1 to 5 Miles from the Truck in, the Mountains, to find our game. Light Weight and accuracy IS, very important to us and both Rifles / loads, shoot, sub 3/4 MOA. We Hunt in, Finger Canyons and Timber a lot, so no need to shoot past, 6-700 yards where we, CHOOSE to Hunt. Feel free to ask any "specific" questions,.. Hope this, helps ! [/QUOTE]
