[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 2798311, member: 123496"] Yep, anything from a 270 through a 300 mag. Get the rifle you want more than the cartridge. I understand snap shooting, moving targets, and multiple shots are common with hogs so some might choose a mag fed handy rifle with a 20 or 22 inch barrel. 308 or 30-06 would be a good choice in a lighter, handier rifle like a tikka. Seems like the consensus is a 30 cal magnum is ideal for elk. I’d agree with that, though I have no first hand experience hunting elk. 😂🤣. The magnums to either side would be a great option too (I.e. 7 mm or 338). A switch barrel in 6.5PRC/300PRC would be my ideal option - One 20”, one 24” barrel. [/QUOTE]
