RE: Best elk rifle

Anything from a .270, 30-06, 7mm, .300 and .338 will work. I watched my buddy drop a 50 inch moose last year with 1 shot from his .270 (not .270 WSM). As is always mentioned, shot placement is key.

RE: asking advice on buying a good rifle

The .270 and 30-06 are great, but since you mentioned 300-400 yard shots I would suggest the 7mm. If your budget allows it, a Sako would make a nice long lasting high quality rifle. Good Luck.
