Default RE: Best elk rifle

The 30-06 and mostly because it's available in light weight rifles that make it a bit easier for mountain hunters.

One could also use a 338-06 but that requires a larger contour barrel and increased weight.

I think weight of the rifle is important to the hunteras it allows an easier time to stalk at low oxygen levels.....ever been there?
