Default RE: What Elk Gun to buy?

"I buy" eh?

So it's not foryou, thus I don't need to inquire as to what you already own, what you have already experienced, how much gumption you've got, your recoil managment skills, etc, etc,etc....[:'(]

Well, don't really need to buy anything in order to go, but if I was adding one on just because, then probably a 338-378 Weatherby and a Leupy scope with 3 to 4 on the low end and 12 to 16 on the high end. (2nd choice 338 RUM, 3rd choice 300 RUM in a Stainless Sendero with the same scope).

Why? Because I can handle the friskier cartridges just fine and I really like the results I see of off the end of my barrel when I use cartridges in that genre, especially with elk type critters. I like them to just "give it up right then and there" even without a CNS shot; I hate tracking, even short (100 yard jobs), especially if you're looking to pop more than one out of a herd.... the results need to be definitive. I like Barnes TSX bullets so let's push'em.
