Tell us about your elk rifle, and cartridge?

[lancetkenyon]

Mine is a Rem 700 BDL in .300RUM with a few tweeks. HS Precision stock, trigger job to 3#, Vortex 4-16x50, KDF muzzle brake, etc.

 

Took an elk with it back in the 90s when it was brand new, haven't been drawn since. If I could ever draw another elk tag, I would be a happy hunter.

 

My hand load is as follows...

 

[Yuma Archer]

325 wsm, 180 grain ballistic silver tips or etips.

 

Browning Auoatic with a Burris fulfield

[Hoss50]

Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Weatherby Mag. Redfield scope, nothing special. I am working up loads with 120gr. Nosler Partitions for it. It is my all around gun. I have other rifles to carry depending on the weather or area's too that are heavier if necessary.

[5alivefishing]

.50 cal TC Encore, 120 Gr. BH 209, 250 GR Barnes T-EZ, FED 209 primer.

[stanley]

7MM. Remington Mag. Usually shoot 160-180 grain bullets off the shelf. (I'm am NOT a long range shooter.....)

I started hunting elk by using a Browning BAR in .308 for my first 3 Arizona elk, then I picked up a Winchester Coyote Lite in .325WSM with a Leupold 4.5x14x50 scope. Shot my 4th elk in New Mexico in 2006 at 300 yds using factory Ballistic Silver Tip 180 gr bullets.

 

Then I had my friend Bob camo it and I got this New Mexico cow with it in 2010.

 

IF I ever get drawn again, I'm putting together another Browning BAR in .338 Win Mag, it's a Gold Medallion edition. Going to put a Leupold matte silver Gold Ring 4.5x14x50 scope on it. Yes, I like silver guns.

I just received a Winchester M1917 made for the Enfield company in Dec. 1917. All I got is the receiver and a match grade custom barrel. They also sent me a trigger and another piece. This will be a long rebuild but when it is done it will be a killing machine. It is chambered in 30-06 and my dads hand loads are Hornady 130grn soft points backed by 53grns of BalC-2 powder. Out of his 03A3 they run 3150fps and his riffle shoots 5 rounds inside a dime at 100 yards, hope my gun can match it. Looking forward to getting started with the build.

Oh ya! but like I said it will take awhile. O promised them that I would take a video of the first fireing and send it to them, I think I will also post it here.

Yes, love them Browning BAR's, really all semi-auto's are cool! My .308 I bought around '85, after my first deer rifle got taken in a burglary. It was a Remington 7600 pump in 30-06 with a Redfield scope that I bought used for $80. When I get the scope for the .338, I'll post it.
