My all time favorite Elk Rifle is my 30-06
The 7RM is a tribute build. My father-in-law and I hunted together for 25 years. He carried his 7RM around for all those years and never killed an elk with it. He passed away 3 years ago, and asked me to build it like my rifles and kill an elk for him with it. Well, that fall, my younger daughter (14 at the time) was the first person to ever kill and elk with that rifle. The next year, I killed my bull with it. This year, my older daughter has an elk tag, and I hope to have her kill with it. That will only leave my son-in-law to complete the family quest....until my two grandbabies get old enough to kill with great-papa's rifle (they are 2 years & 8 months respectively now, so will be a while). But I will continue to carry it for myself for years and years to come.I was hoping you'd say one of your 280 AI's or 7mm RM. Hard to argue with a 300 or 338 RUM.
