[QUOTE="MI.264, post: 2514345, member: 123058"] People only need an elephant gun to hunt elephants. This has to be one of the most over analyzed questions of all time. Not saying "Don't ask questions, everyone should. A well known hunter rifleman Randy Newberg I found on YouTube states it best. He says when people ask him what's the best Gun for Elk, he tells them the gun your most comfortable with. So will a 30-30 kill and Elk...yes, I've seen as stated before deer drop dead in their tracks with a .22 from over 100 yards. I'm not saying I'd take a 30-30 on an Elk hunt, but Newberg's point is well taken. If you have a 25-06, or a 300 Weatherby and you've used it for years that you know what it can do, how it's going to buck when you shoot it, then that's your elk gun. The knowledge you need to have is, how far do you feel confident shooting it. look to see what Bullets are recommended for taking an Elk, and they're is your Elk gun. HaPpY ShOoTiNg [/QUOTE]
