[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1536452, member: 26535"] While you are at making the hunting community look bad why don't you go ahead and do it with a 22 so you can brag about using barley adequate equipment. Do you have any clue how your statement sounds? Every hunter knows a 6.5 can kill animals and is even very very effective on deer and smaller but elk in elk country is not something to be playing with. Having the attitude of using smaller just to brag is the very definition of unethical. If all you can afford is one rifle and you shoot deer or pronghorn 95% of the time with an occasional elk I completely understand wanting to use your 6.5 but keep shots at a reasonable distance like under 500 yards(which is his max quoted). Advocating the use of less than optimum is flat wrong. I have seen more than a few elk die this year with the 6.5 prc and 147 eldms. It is impressive but it is not a 30 cal. The Op asked for an elk rifle which implies to me it will be dedicated and the 30 with the right bullet will best the 6.5 with the right bullet hands down. [/QUOTE]
