[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2622440, member: 24446"] I've never had the opportunity to hunt elk although it's something I've always wanted to do. In the one in a million chance I did get the opportunity I would probably take my Savage 116 FCSS Weather Warrior .30-06 and/or my .50 Beowulf because it's what I have and from everything I've read on the subject, either would work. The Beowulf would be limited to inside 200 yards, 150 preferably but definitely pack enough punch to do the job. The .30-06 has been used for quite awhile for elk so I guess it should still work. I don't have any tactics since I've never been before but that's the rifles I'd choose. My top three hunts would be moose, bison/buffalo and elk.....I would like to hunt a buffalo with my 1873 Springfield "trapdoor" carbine .45-70. Sure it would be limited to low pressure black powder loads but if it worked back then, it oughta work now. Now that would be the hunt of a lifetime...just wish I was a wealthy doctor or lawyer so I could actually afford to do it. [/QUOTE]
