DocMort Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 So just looking for some ideas here, I'm figuring on going on an elk hunt this fall, and was looking for a light rifle to take with me. Preferable .30 cal or bigger anyone have any Suggestions looking for max price to be around $750? Already have a Savage 110 I think in 7mm Rem Mag but it has a long barrel I know its enough gun just like the idea of buying a new one. Also have a BLR in 450 marlin that will be goin with me just in case I hunt some thick woods with a shorter shot. Thanks for the Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailmanmark Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 light rifle Take a look at the TIKKA T3 lite. Very good gun and well within your budget all with guaranteed accuracy. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMort Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks, ok one more thing anyone have any information on the 338 Federal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 The .338 Federal is, for all practical purposes, a .33-.308 Win. It tosses a bit heavier bullet with a little more muzzle energy and a little more frontal area. It should make a very sufficient short to mid-range elk thumper.

I completely agree with mailmanmark. I have had to talk myself out of a Tikka T3 Lite more than once at the local gun shop. Great feeling rifle, felt very balanced and I'm sure you could throw it over your shoulder and carry it all day without a problem. I need to stop thinking about it, I'll be wanting one again!!
