[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 1520861, member: 25190"] Since you want a SA I would say 300 WSM. Manageable recoil even in a lightweight mountain rifle, more so if you’re shooting lighter bullets. I’ve killed quite a few elk and had one that I wounded badly and never recovered. My next build that will be for elk mostly is going to be 300 Norma, now I shoot and love 280 AI. I hunt all public land, as a weekend warrior, and opportunities to take an elk don’t come around all that often so when I get that chance I don’t want to second guess my firepower. Power to the people who are out there taking them with .243s, I think they are crazy. [/QUOTE]
