For elk the lightest gun I recommend is the ones in 6.5 MM, 260, 6.5 Creed. 243s and 25-06 as well as 257 Roberts get it done many times, but you need to have a good angle and the penetration is not as good as the 6.5s as a rule.

To keep the recoil as low as possible I would recommend an AR style auto. I would make sure it has a break on it too. Such a gun in the the 6.5s will kick about like a light 223 bolt action or a mid-weight 243.
