I also have a 7 mm mag that I have used since my 20s on elk. I am 64 now. I love mine. But I did vote on his list and didnt mention the 7mm mag. His poll and question clearly states that he wants to choose from these guns if they are adequate. His title does say: Gun/caliber selection for elk. Not “Best gun…”
Out to the range he states and beyond, the guns listed are clearly more than adequate. No reason to buy a new gun. Especially in this market, both for guns and ammunition.
but hey, this is the internet and you are free to give you opinion, as are we
