Backup rifle for Elk hunt, which one?
I am going elk hunting this fall (3rd week of September) in Alberta. We'll be hunting in the foothills. Spot and stalk and calling mainly, don't plan on using horses.
I am bringing my BRNO 600 30-06 with a B&L 3000 Elite 3x9x40. I'll be shooting Hornady 180 gr light magnums at 2900 fps.
I am going to bring a backup rifle and would appreciate suggestions. I have available:
BRNO 602 carbine, .375 H&H with a Leupold 1.5x5x20 in QD rings.
LE No.5 .303, original iron sights only.
Marlin 1895 GS with Wild West ghost ring sights.
Norinco HP9-1 with Wilson Combat ghost ring sights
Norinco SKS - I saved the best for last http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/images/smilies/new/onCrack.gif
Which would you bring as a backup?
