Don't change just because someone told you to. The .270 is all you need, and forget about playing with that B&C scope. By the time you screw with that, the elk will be gone. Get a good 4x , 2x-7x or 3x-9x Leupold and you have a rig for everything but big bears. Practice in hunting positions and find where the elk are. Stay calm and get close. Good Luck!
