I agree, if you can shot your 7mm better, use that instead. The 7 mag is a personal favorite of mine. If your wondering about the 270 on elk, a heated debate is going on in another thread some good infoif youread between allthe lines. The weatherby has more speed which helps and will do fine if you wish to use it. If you like the Weatherby take alittle timeto get use totheweight, Ive generallyfound the heavier guns I personally can hold more steady than a light rifle in hunting situations.Then again, is the extra weight worth it to be carrying around in elk country?
