RE: What Elk Gun to buy?
I can agree control round feed are better for the stubby rounds like a 300wsm but the rest IMHO is bure b.s.
Who in there right mind would have thier gun slung when walking thru thick stuff ,when by very nature if you're in it the gun should be unslung to begin with. Remingtons go bang when the safety is switched off when someone that doesn't know what they are doing adjusts the trigger. That can happen to just about any firearm when a nimrod starts to tinker.
I'm not shilling for any one gun maker , I own or have owned Weatherby, Ruger,Remington,Sako,Browning,Savage and Winchester over the years. I might be going out on a limb but Remington 700's in one for or another have probably accounted for more game in a bolt rifle than any two other combined in North America.
