Default RE: The Ultimate Elk Rifle

I have a question as much as a comment. I did a little looking before posting, but didn' t see much on the .270. I am headed to southwest colorado, as the handle implies, for my first elk hunt. I have a very accurate .270 win Savage with a 3-9 scope. I dropped a whitetail at 385 paces in his tracks with it. Not bragging (well maybe a little[8D]), but just wondering if it' s a good choice to the elk hunt? Otherwise I' m going to trade off a couple of guns and go with a .338, 7mm mag, or .300 win mag. I like savage and really like the new accutrigger. Problem is it only comes in a heavy barrel and in 7mm and .300wm and I' m wondering if its to much weight to lug around for ah.... I believe the term is ah ...... ah...... a flatlander?
