BigBulls, I think you have all comments made covered LOL..I just hope that small elk gun you have doesn't spook the game whatever it maybe..That's something you might consider. Make a Camo cover for it.
If anybody can set you up with a scope for it Leupold can. Trashco might but probably wouldn't hold up to the light recoil.You have allot to consider before taking it elk hunting. Even more if you're going to try it out on Chipmunks or cottontails.

After refusing to break contact with the Iraqis despite repeated warnings, Bull was assassinated in March 1990. Probably by the Israeli Secret Service.

Bigbulls, you really should be ashamed of yourself! Shooting an animal the size of an Elk with such a small gun, is clearly, unethical!

And another dozen posts asking if this gun is powerful enough for whitetails past 400 yards!

I wouldn't think about using this gun past 400 yards.

Hey, can you post some of the test groups from range firing?
What does the target look like after a couple of shots?

I suggest you stack the sand bags high, and sit up straight with your chest on the edge of the shooting table.

Is that considered a "long magnum"?

If you shoot into a herd I hope you have more than one tag. But then who will count the parts anyway.

Where can I get one. I have enough powder to get the bullett at least half way down the barrel.
