What's your elk rifle?

[RHC]

RHC, just picked up my .350 last month. I love it! Have not found a load yet that really shoots great, but it is hunting good (1 1/2") They had a used 673 in a .350 at a local gun shop that was mint for @ $600. If your interested let me know i will do the leg work for you.

Probably can't swing the money right now (building an F class rig). If I Have some left over cash after, I'll take a look into it if its still available.

Pretty sensible given elk can be hunted sea level to mountain meadow, rain forest to desert, in all kinds of extreme weather.

I have an old Tikka Whitetail Hunter in 300WM; love the stock and the trigger too. Low cost Nikon Buckmaster 4-12x50. Berger 175's get the job done. My target rifles are a different story!
