There's been a few threads on the boards lately about elk rifle and calibers.Let me run this scenario by you guys......You're an eastern whitetail hunter but every 3 or 4 years you save up for a trip out west to hunt elk. You only have one rifle to cover BOTH situations. Let's hear what your choice of rifle , caliber and scope {including power} would be.

For me I would have to say a Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather in 308 with a Leupold VXIII 3 x 9.
