Your Grandfather did a good job on the conversion to a deer rifle. I'd love to have one like it, and in fact do have two, both nicely done, had for a song. They are light in weight, superbly designed and machined, and good shooters. You can use the 8mm on elk if you get the bullet right and don't shoot beyond 200 yards. I've seen these 'scoped out nicely and good shooters out to 600 yards, but I prefer the iron sights and shorter shots.
