It's time to break in the H&R 450 Marlin, all the elk are in thick bush and sight lines are short

Rainy weather- stainless with B/C stock Weatherby vanguard 7rem mag topped with a bushnell elite 3500 3-9x40 hope to shoot 150gr swift sciroccos
Dryer weather- 300wby, also a vanguard, blued with walnut stock, topped with a leupold 4-12x50, probably just shooting some older reloads of 165gr sriroccos

 

[BlackRam]

Nice weather, Sako 85 LH Hunter in 9.3x62, unless it is thick bush/short range, then my recurve.
Bad weather, Tikka LH T3 in 338 Federal.

All I want is even the opportunity to go elk hunting! Would love to learn but no family or friends really hunt so going to have to figure it out for myself! That being said I would use my tikka T3 lite in 7mm Rem Mag. Light enough to spot and stock but enough oomf for longer range stand hunting.

Was this a factory option?

 

[rascal1]

Browning A bolt II .300 mag stainless with a nice Bushy 6500 2.5-16x42 mounted on top. I pull out of the homestead in the morning for my trip.

 

[Dent2]

Was hoping to have my rem 783 in 350 rem mag sorted out bit looks like its gonna be an ab3 browning in 300 win mag.

Your AB3 is a solid option.

 

[Big bore dinosaur]

Yup, I never saw one before, so i scooped it up.. turns out to be a tack driver with 250 TSX. They where only produced for a couple years

 

[Mighty Peace]

Either my Sako 75ss 300wm with 180gr Accubond reloads or my Sako 75 Greywolf 338-06AI with 225gr Accubond or TTSX reloads. Could be my Sako 75ss 270WSM with 140gr Accubond reloads. Guess all depends what on what rifle I leave the house with that morning.
For my upcoming moose hunting trip it’s the 300wm. This rifle been going with me to moose camp every year since 1997. It’s a traditional ritual.

Running a Sako Black Bear in 308. It has a 2.5-10x32 Nightforce. Handy little package and lots of power to 400.
