[QUOTE="mtbohunter, post: 1114379, member: 38631"] Ill have 2 as well. 1st choice is my 338rum xcr with B&C carbelite stock, Gentry 45degree break and custom trigger. This rifle constantly fires clover leafs and smaller with 225 accubonds and is nice to carry. I recently got into a heated debate in Beartooth Guns in Billings because the guys there told me I didn't need that big of a caliber to elk hunt. I said your right! But I will prove you wrong. I work all year dreaming about one 3 second period when I may have to take a poor angel shot on a bull. See, I backpack into the wilderness in MT. and there is always competition in the area's I hunt. If I see a bull I want to take and its a less then perfect scenario, I know I have the right rifle to take one shot and make one kill in a hurry. I would never take an unethical shot but knowing Ill put the elk down quickly really helps the confidence, and I am a big proponent of having all the odds on my side. Yes, I have a 338wm, 300wm, 264wm, 30-06 and of course a 71-348. But for that moment of truth, seems like I am always clinging to my 338ultra. And by the way, the last 5 years I have taken 5 6x6 bulls, the largest scoring 329" and the smallest being 277" 3 with a bow and two with the ultra. And for my back up, it will be the trusty Browning 71-348. Some guns ya just gotta love! Good Luck, work hard and shoot straight! [/QUOTE]
