How far is an avg shot distance for elk?
Looking into getting new rifle. one of them is 338 marlin express. reading article says it spits out 200 grain @ 2400 mv. artilcle says its a 200 yard elk gun and a 300 yard deer gun. they say its similar to 30-06. Interested, being a newby at the whole elk thing, how far is your average shot distance. i realize one needs to practice at what distance you want to shoot from but just for the sake of curiosity i would like some input on your experience of how far to have a gun capable to shoot. Any extra info on marlin express good or bad would be very much appreciated.
