Not on the list for that rifle but as has already been mentioned, I am also a huge fan of the 7-08 as a deer rifle especially with 120gr ballistic tips, a very good buddy also took an elk with 140 nosler e-tips. Loads can be tough to find though, so .308 will work well for mostly deer and sometimes elk or if you are recoil sensitive at all. If you mostly hunt farther west and elk will be frequent, then the 7mag or 30-06 would likely get the nod, with preference for the magnum. Glass would again depend on where you hunt, 2.5-10 probably if you spend a lot of time in the woods, 4-16x44 if you hunt a lot in the open.</p></blockquote><p></p>
