 I'm a big fan of the medium bores (over 30 caliber), so most of my guns are in great elk calibers. Here are a couple of my "elk guns" I like to use a different gun each day. That way I can rationalize each one of them. :chuckle:

Here's my 300 RUM. :chuckle:


The 375 BME. For when the elk are way out there. The cartridges in the picture are 6mm BR, 308, 300wsm, 338/375, and 375 BME.:tup:



The 338/375 Striker. I have 2 rifles in the same caliber as well. Everybody loves the matched pair rifle/handgun!


The only one I don't have a good picture of is the one I call "the Mule". That's the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan in 375 Ruger. It is without a doubt my go to, work horse, gotta go kill stuff gun. It's the only one that's always sighted in and ready to go with a handful of 260gr Accubond handloads just sitting and waiting. I've beat the snot out of in the last few years and it's still dead on every time I shoot it. :tup:

Left port on the .375 is cool.

It's great until I need to extract a loaded round. Then I need to pull the bolt. A fired case just barely fits through the port. :tup:

I plan on using my AR-15 .450 Bushmaster with 250 grain FTX for elk this year on the west side.

If I had to use a rifle...

It's my T/C Encore with a 28" .300 win mag barrel. Defensive Edge brake, Bellm TC's custom frame stuff. Shoots lights out and you can watch bullets hit the target.

Remington 700 1/7.75 twist .243


For elk???  :o

Seen a few elk drop in their tracks from .243.    Easy caliber to shoot and put the bullet right where it belongs.

And quite a bit more energy than .308
not to be argumentative but are you sure about that?

Yes

At 500 the .243 is a little better than even

At 800 the .243 beats the .308 by 20%
