I carry a Rem 700BDL in 7mm Mag. I have a nice Leopold that I like. Nothing fancy just 3-9x40. Is this your first time? Have a blast....

Make it Ruger instead of Remington, and that's my elk rifle. Vash, take the 30 '06. Use a fairly heavy bullet, sight her in at 1.5" high at 100 yards, and you should be set...Don't try to be fancy with head shots. With Elk, aim for the shoulder. As my now deceased buddy said: "Shoot 'em in the shoulder, then shoot 'em in the shoulder again." I haven't hunted for years, but I'm fairly sure of this advice.
