Default RE: What Elk Gun to buy?

ORIGINAL: Ruddyduck

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{m} or another have probably accounted for more game in a bolt rifle than any two other combined in North America.
I have my doubts on that. *If* Remmy bolts have taken more than Winchester, I can't imagine it's by *that* much.

Regardless, it doesn't really prove anything about Remington, other than popularity. 30-30 rounds have probably still taken more deer in the US than any other cartridge - does that mean it's a flawless round, better than some of the newer offerings?
