Going on my first elk hunt in Wyoming at the end of October. Got lucky and drew a special bull permit. (first time I have applied).
This is the kicker, I'm just not into big guns, well, except for a TRG42 that I fell in love with last year. I have loaded 250gr SMK and 225gr Accubonds. The Accubonds run a mild 2840fps.
The TRG is a bit big and bulky, would like a downsized rig. (Even though I don't think the weight is a problem) This is my other options.
Rem SPS 300WSM
Rem 700P 300WM
Both above guns are stocked, bedded, ready for a scope set on it and dialed in. Both have been shot with VXII 3x9's and produced darn good groups out of the box using Rem Core locks and or Win Grey Box.
What would you guys run on the first hunt?
Just having a hard time deciding what to run.
I won't handload for the two Rem models this year, but will expire some ammo getting either one tuned in and familiar with whatever I go with.
Too many choices!
