[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1556976, member: 75451"] SavageHunter11, If your only option, other than the 12.5 pound .338 Lapua.....go with the 7 MM. Unless, you will “not” be doing “any” walking, 12.5 pounds is too heavy for an elk hunt in mountain country....unless you are a competitive tri-athlete! I have a friend, a very tough, physical young man. He used his Lapua once on an elk hunt....said it was just too heavy for hunting, if a lot of walking was involved! With good Bullets, and proper placement the 7MM is a good elk cartridge. Not my first choice, but a good choice! memtb [/QUOTE]
