Let me know what you have. Thanks Give us your bare rifle budget no scope that'll help. I like 300wm but yes they do have a thump to them. Still one of my favorites. When walking into the unknown it always feels good to know you have something that does not discriminate between short and long range killin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted May 14, 2020 Any of the big 7s or .30s will do the trick on elk, even smaller, IF you put the bullet where it needs to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBarter Report post Posted May 14, 2020 I don't own anything that says magnum in it anymore, Elk rifle is .280 Rem. CDNN still has Ruger M77s in .280 for $470. CDNN .280 Leaves $500 for a good scope. Meopta maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
