I don't regret it too much since I like the .410 more. Loved the rifle, just not the caliber.

280, 270, or 308.. and shot a 25-06... but did not like it like others


My cuz has a 280, ammo is ridiculous high and hard to find.. Love my 308, take it 95% of the time when hunting.

Still want it.

I won't be buying a rifle for a few years. Got the old 7600 .270 and a Mauser to hold me over until I decide what I want.

25-06 I have neither but want one. I know a few people who have them and use them often.

Call me crazy but why are ya'll suggesting a 308 for elk hunting? Yes it will get it done but if he has a safe full of guns shouldnt he have something better suited for game that big?

It's what he has.

My uncle kills them with a 7mm08. Like deer hunting with a .243 IMO. It's marginal.

.308 is a little better because you can launch some heavier bullets.

There isn't anything short of a brown bear in North America that I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting with a .308.

Have a lil weatherby 300 ultra
Never been shot and no scope though, was nwtf gun of the year a few yrs ago, all the gold engravings n shite.. Too purty! Haha

And i think they were just saying it would get the job done, i wasnt asking for an elk gun.. Just something different than what i already had, and 7mm-08 was the choice out of the 2 fr larger game
