If someone read it and thought I was right and they went out and bought a 300 Remington Ultra Mag for elk hunting, no big deal. I would have been responsible for helping them buy the absolute best elk hunting caliber made. IMO.

No it's not hard to believe. I knew someone would take it serious. That's why I wrote it. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that someone would miss the sarcasm and my statement would stir the pot. I just didn't know who it would be! LMAO!!

I've not shot the Savage model you mention. I've seen the trailers of it on hunting channels. Looks like it can be an accurate rifle. You still need a quality scope and solid rings on it. Otherwise, you'd be wasting you money.
I own a couple Tikka T3 's (.300 WM), .30-06) which I've hunted elk and deer with respectively. They are extremely accurate rifles. I put 2.5-10 x 42 and 3-9 x 40 Nikon Monarch scopes on them, which hold their zero and have great optics.

I was joking about the Savage too. Although, they are not my favorite rifle, the first three elk I ever shot, I shot with a Savage 30.06 with the package scope. I would never take another one elk hunting but I would buy one if I got a great deal on it. It would never be my go to gun though.
If someone was trying to hunt on a budget, the way I was, they are perfectly fine rifles and will get the job done. I can just afford better now.
