270 win or a 30-06 ,with the first choice being a 30-06 .

RE: Which Gun to Go with
 

I would go with a remington 700bdl ss dm in either 7mm mag or 300 win mag.Smaller cartridges will kill moose and elk but these two provide a little extra insurance.Which of the two you choose would depend on how sensitive you are to recoil.The 7mm is quite manageable but the bit extra that the 300 provides is a little more than some people are comfortable with.

There r many nice rifles out there,get the 1 that fits &quot;U&quot; best, try all rifles u can. I like to close my eyes and shoulder the gun,then open eyes to feel a goood fit, as far as calibers go,today with the new bullets and powders u hav lots of deadly options.these bullets that retain 100 percent, u will get pass thru at 300 yds and minimum damage at 20. There is no such thing as to dead. go with the biggest calb. u can handle. on a good hit,heart,lung,neck, any thing will bring it down. U will appreciate the bigger calb. on a BAD hit, it will save u miles and time. A .243 IS A VARMINT GUN.Comon guns4hire

Browning A-bolt SS Stalker .300win mag. It has removable clip. With boss it has less recoil But more noise. It might be overkill for whitetail. For Elk it would be perfect.

RE: Which Gun to Go with
 

.308 because if your within 200 yards it'll be no problem.

RE: Which Gun to Go with
 

Although I love the .270, i'd take a 30.06 out for Elk, and definately not a .243.

You want the gun for deer and trips for elk won't come that often,right? My choice would be a .280. Flat shooter and it can be used for elk when you go! This is a &quot;GREAT&quot; deer caliber and a &quot;GOOD&quot; elk caliber. I like the Remington 700 myself...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Which Gun to Go with
 

I think the 270 would be great for deer, but would be the bare minimum for elk. 30-06 would be very good for deer or elk. 7mm mag would be even better. The 300 mag & larger have too much recoil for my taste.
