Just a suggestion. If there's time left before you go hunting. And the money is there for a new rifle. Because you feel uneasy about or are unsure if your 270 will cut the mustard so to speak. Treat yourself to a new rifle and scope set-up. 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win Mag will get the job done no doubt about it. In hunting BIG game you have to have confidence in your equipment and your abilities first and foremost. After that it's all down hill sledding. If you do buy a new rifle. It would be nice if you could get some Range time prior to your hunt as to get accustom with your new rifle and its scope. This planned elk hunting trip. It very well may be your first hunt. But it may turn out~ not to be your last. Elk hunting is like fishing for muskey's. Both can be an addicting challenge every year.
A litt'l Tip from one Elk hunter to another soon to be Elk hunter: "When hunting any Big game it's better to be over gunned verses being caught under gunned." __Wishing the Best of Luck to You Sir,
