RE: What Elk Gun to buy?
BUCKTOWN;
These guys would be a lot of fun at party's, huh?
I have a Ruger M77 in stainless with composite stock in the .300 WIN MAG. (Not that short s@!t)
Topped with a Nikon Monarch 3 - 9. I use this gun for everything. Antelope, bear, deer, elk, moose (if I ever get a tag!). Will do it all.
Example: Last Friday I took a mulie doe at 397 yards . . . uphill, into the sun, with a crosswind. Well, that might be stretching it a bit. But it knocked her down at 397! Winchester Supreme AccuBond in 180 grains for everything.
You won't be sorry, and a gun you could likely use at home for local game.
