I am looking for a good elk rifle, and possible moose rifle. I have a .243 so I am hoping for something larger. Any suggestions?

308 if you like you're 243 its the same shell casing with a 30 caliber bullet. You'll like it, it won't stomp you to death and is a good deer gun out to about 300. My Dad has killed elk with his usually 200-250 yards. They'll work, for a bonafide elk gun a 30-06 or a 300 which buts you in the next power catagory. And a 338 if you want to put a big whoopin on them.

To what Ish said I would add the 35 Whelan and the 350 Remington Mag. If you could find a Rem Mdl 700 Classic in 350 mag (or Whelan) you would have a really nifty gun that doesn't kick too hard, easy to carry and kills like Thor's hammer. Made one shot bang flop kill on both bears and moose with mine. No it's not for sale.
