pretty small. I usually pack in a 20 bore. I know it is expensive to shoot and a bit heavy but it really does nice work.
My secondary gun is the barret M82. I try to be humane
j/k I haven't hunted elk with a rifle...only muzzleloader. I've taken deer with my .243 with ease out to 350 yards. I don't even really have a good elk rifle...it will probably be a .308
