[QUOTE="Mach 1, post: 1468533, member: 104202"] My wife took a huge cow elk last year in the Walden Colorado area almost a year ago now and used her inherited rem 600 in 308. She ended up shooting it 5 times and missed 3 times. Granted she didn’t make the best shot but that happens, especially when you get flustered. We were lucky to recover it and she wasted around 1/5 of the meat. I watched that big cow take a 308 in the shoulder and not flinch. That impressed me. My wife takes. Couple deer and several coyotes every year with her gun but My wife said she would never use her 308 again on elk. I’m not a fan of the 308 on elk as it was kind of a shitshow. But on the other hand my wife only weighs about 116 pounds and is limited as to what she can carry around. No doubt a 7-08 or 308 will work well if a good shot is placed appropriately but you never know how good of a shot will be made until that gorgeous animal is standing within 100 yards of you and your wife gets a case of buck fever.
