[QUOTE="Deadman Walking, post: 1995523, member: 106506"] I have a 1970 Japanese made Mark V in 300wby. I've never had a chance to hunt elk, but I don't know if there is a much better round for elk except maybe the 28 cal/7m magnums. I have taken a moose at 270 yards and a dall sheep at 360 yards with 180 accubonds. I wouldn't want to go with a much lighter rifle in 300 mag. If I was worried about a pound, I would look to loose it in my gear. Get a comfortable sling and have a way to hang it off your pack and it won't make a difference. As long as you have confirmed it is accurate, your are comfortable shooting it, and that it is sighted in well- it will serve you well. (P.S I prefer a 300 yard zero as it is only about 3 inches high at 100 and 3.5 inches high at 200 give or take depending on your set up). [/QUOTE]
