[QUOTE="TomBillPhill, post: 650681, member: 48001"] I should have framed my original question better as it is twofold. First, what is the suitability of the .260 Remington & variants such as the Creedmoor and now the Lapua on elk at medium range? Secondly what is the best platform to produce the lowest felt recoil, AR-10 or bolt action? Earlier I had mentioned that I was exploring the use of an AR-10 platform, but I have concerns with the weight of this rifle, as I know that we will have to carry this at higher elevations. In addition, I believe that the greater weight of the AR-10 platform will impart a larger amount of recoil, but will the buffer assembly mitigate this recoil, and is it worth the extra weight. I have also been looking at the T/C Icon which is about 40% lighter than the AR and may be a better choice for an extended hunt. [/QUOTE]
