For bench use then remove for hunting.
If you don't reload I would stay with the 30 caliburs ammo that u can buy off the shelf for elk. 7mm great gun also.OK, here is the scenario.....you are a medium range 0-600 yd elk hunter. You are looking for a rifle with moderate(light as possible without a brake) recoil, under 10lbs with scope and on a model 70 action.....
the real question is what caliber? 284 Win, 280 AI, 30-06(AI or regular).....or jump to the magnum bolt face and 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Wthby, etc..

Either 6.5x284 or 6.5 PRC - either one of those with either the 147gr ELDm or the 140gr + berger is perfect. The new 144gr hybrid looks amazing!OK, here is the scenario.....you are a medium range 0-600 yd elk hunter.
