Best Deer and Elk Caliber
I am an avid whitetail hunter but hope to in a year or two to start elk hunting too. I am looking to get a new rifle, and wanted to get one that would effectively take both.
I was looking at possibly getting a Browning A-Bolt.
Just wondering what your guys thoughts on this would be.

8mm/06!
Really just a 30/06 with a slightly wider pill. Pretty much a clone in performance.
There are probably better choices, but I already own this one, so the price is correct.

RE: Best Deer and Elk Caliber
The Browning A-Bolt in the .270 WSM is a real sweetheart. With a 140 Accubond, this caliber will do well with either species. A 7 Rem Mag would also be a good choice. And a .300 WSM or .300 Win Mag would be more for elk, but is still a great deer rifle if the recoil doesn't bother you.
