[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 32105, member: 1403"] My favorite elk rifle is my Remington 700 LSS in .300 RUM. I load the 200g Accubond with 92g of H-1000 and has shot 1.5" 3 shot group at 525 yards. I shot my 5x6 bull with it last year at 512 yards. My first shot hit right behind the shoulder, he went up the hill and stopped facing away, I put the cross hairs on his back and shot but missed. That sent him back down to where I first hit him and he stood broadside one last time before that 200g Accubond took out his shoulder. Let me tell you that with two shots with one connecting solid shoulder bone and leaving good size exit holes, there was not much edible meat left on the front half of this elk. This rifle was bought strictly for longer range shots on deer, elk, and bears out to 800 yards with good conditions where it has given me 3.5" and 4" groups off a bench. With my Leupold base/rings and the new VX2, 6-18, Target scope, it weighs 8.75lbs. I carry it up and down the cascade mountain canyons for elk/bears all day long. I've only owned this rifle for about 6 months, but I got it in time for deer, bear and elk season. I shot my buck, and a record book bear, and my bull with it. I also shot a coyote at 804 yards which is my longest kill to date. It has not let me down yet. I have shot 2 other spike bulls and 1 cow however and that was with my old Ruger S/S .300 Win Mag that I sold. I have killed 4 elk out of the 6 years I've been able to hunt them, I'm only 18. I suspect my .300 RUM will account for about a good 36 more throughout my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
