What are rifle (s) are you taking to elk hunt this year?

[Bbear]

Primary will be a Win Mod. 70 264 WM shooting 142 gr ABLR.

I still haven't decided on the back-up. Either the 6.5 swede and some 140's or the 308. I'm leaning towards the 308.

I finally shot my Big Swede with the 180TTSX Double Tap ammo. It was scary accurate, but no way would I just use this ammo...with S&H I ended up at $95...wow. ha However, It allowed me to see how well my rifle shot. I am going to start now with the Barnes 200TTSx ( I am still awaiting the development of Mr Hammer's 220 in 358!)

 

[Bravo 4]

Bare rifle 6 lbs and right around 8 with the NF

Do you have anything posted about this build? If not, can you tell us about it?

 

[220s]

Unfortunately no elk in Aus, closest we have size and toughness wise would be sambar.
Have carried 240wby, 375H&H & 45/70 after them this season, so far the 240wby is the only one on the score board.

I'll be using my .260 Ackley sending a 140 Berger H-VLD @ 2980 fps. Got a nice little point that my buddy and I are going to sit on opening morning and wait for a couple big 6's that we have been watching to step out in the early morning sun...

#1: Remington Model 7 in 6.5 GAP4S with 24" barrel, pushing 140 Berger H-VLD at 2955 fps. Light weight and deadly accurate.

#2: MRC1999 in 300WSM with 25" barrel, launching 200gr Accubonds at 2850 fps. Traditional magnum sporter weight.

Will have a 338 Lapua AI in camp for those special LR occasions. With that in camp, I'm not sure I need to borrow my buddy's 338 Big Bear; would live to stone an elk with it once though.

What are you running with the 240 WBY? We all know the other two will knock one down easily. Man, I love a .45-70 but that isn't exactly Long Range.

One day I'll be able to afford a nice custom rifle, but until then my trusty Savage 7mm Rem Mag will be my rifle of choice for elk. I have a good rifle bull hunt this November and my trigger finger is getting itchy.
