25-06
I am looking to buy a centerfire rifle that needs to be very versatile. Over the years it would be used for coyote, eastern whiteail deer, and eastern black bear. I like the idea of a Ruger #1 25-06. HOWEVER, I may have an opportunity to do some Elk hunting in Colorado. What do you veteran Elk hunters think about it? Would the 25-06 be too light. I used to think so,but then again, i have recently seen hunting shows where they are shooting Elk with muzze loaders.
