    New season - Gen tag

    I would check the rmef museum in Missoula. I hear they have just what you are looking for, and they even have the taxidermy already done. No worries about cwd either... Very easy access, but there may be logistic difficulties I haven't considered.

    What's your elk rifle and cartridge?

    I got a Sako av back in high school chambered for 7rm. It never shot great with it’s 22 inch barrel. I put a 26 inch lilja after I shot out the original, and now it will shoot 168vld and 160 accubonds at 3k FPS into a teacup waaaay further than I’m willing to shoot an elk

    My Elk hunt.

    I think a lot of us feel the same. I'm saving up for the other leg of my bipod. I hope to have it in 2-3 years... I love the story, and great job on the bull.

    Thoughts on taking my 70 year old Dad Elk Hunting

    Minimum Caliber For Alaska

    All joking aside, anything you would use for deer and elk would be reasonable in Ak, with the possible exception of brown bears. Bullet choice and placement are more important than cartridge in most cases.

    Minimum Caliber For Alaska

    700 nitro will work great at 1000 yards, just need to get that 5000 moa base made. :hump: just keep in mind that the bullet will be somewhere near the tops of the trees at the peak of its trajectory so there will be some middle ground between pbr and 1000 yds that will be difficult to hold for.
