7th Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: 7 mm-08 backup I would in a heart beat. Get a good bullet and it will do anything that a .270 win will and that is what most say is min for Elk. When I get to take Mommy out west for Elk, that is what she will be going with... Know your gun and what it will do and keep it in that range and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: 7 mm-08 backup 7mm-08 is fine for a backup. Keep the range within it's limits and use a premium bullet. The most important factor is up to the shooter to put the bullet in the sweet spot. BeanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cmr Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: 7 mm-08 backup I have never killed a elk with my 7mm08 but have killed many muledeer with it an would not be scared to hunt elk with it. 7mm08 is a fine weapon.

punkinslinger Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Re: 7 mm-08 backup Just bought my 11 year old son one..early x-mas gift plus for him passing his hunter safety course. I been shooting it and I love it. May have to retire my old 7MM mag I've been toting for 33 years. His is a Rem Model 7 youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Re: 7 mm-08 backup I would hunt with a 7mm-08 for any game in the lower 48. Sweet round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
