elk hunting rifle recommendation

We suggest either the Hawken in .54 or .58 caliber, the Woodsrunner model in .54 caliber or the Colonial in .58 caliber. The Woodsrunner maxes out at .54 caliber, but is highly recommended as it is lighter and easier to carry and handle compared to the Colonial. Many customers have had great success hunting elk with a .54 caliber rifle.
