What's your elk rifle?

[Tikkamike]

I have a couple.. started out with my A-bolt in 7mm rem mag. and still use it ossationally. then I used my 338 lapua with 300smk for a while. Last Year I used my 338 win with 225 ttsx this year I am going to use my 375 rum again but it has a different barrel so I dont know the load but hope to push 270 tsx out of the 28" Benchmark at 3300+

Seriously? Am I the only guy using a .22LR?

This year I will try and stick with my .270 AI ... attempted it last year but ended harvesting my bull elk with my SAKO M995 in .300 Win Mag using 190gr Berger VLD.

The .270 AI is Savage 110 LA with 30" 1-8 3-groove Lilja #6 with JP Enterprise Beenie Cooley muzzle brake pushing 175gr Matrix VLD at 2993 FPS (my current accuracy load) as soon as I get my 20 MOA (backordered) I will be installing a newly purchased 4-20x50 Burris Veracity scope.

Sounds like a very well balanced LR setup. I hope those 200 Accubonds shoot well in your gun, I have seen them perform very well on some very large bodied bulls. With it's relatively high bc and bonded core, I think it is an all around great performing bullet up close or far away.

I agree sounds like a nice setup

Lately I've been looking at building a rifle around the .350 WSM/.35 Sambar cartridge. That would be flat bad on elk.
