Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

My first full Custom build for my first Elk hunt.
Built by Fritz at BlackCanyon Customs!

I've not had the opportunity to Elk hunt yet so I figured I'd have a gun built while I wait to get drawn. I drank the 7PRC Koolaid and went that route since I didn't have a 7 in my quiver.

I'm at around 12lbs wo/ optics. I took the hit on weight with the action.

Action: Terminus Zeus LA
Barrel: 24" Bartlein 400 ModBB CF 7PRC
Trigger: Triggertech Diamond 2stage
BM: Hawkins Hunter DBM
Stock: Manners LRH Swamp Camo
Brake: SRS 4Port Ti
Optics: TBD
Rings: GrayOps 36mm


I know this is heavier than what most would consider for a hunting rifle. I need an optic, any recommendations for it is more than welcome.
Hope Berger comes out with some factory loaded soon!

Optics WTS gen 1 Vortex Viper 6-24x50

No box, good shape. One spot on the turret has some knurling ground down a bit but not major. Pics show that and two other small spots. No dents or abuse. Clean clear glass, no scratches. Has shims in the elevation but not sure how many. Clicks feel good. Illumination works. Mag ring and parallax is smooth. FFP MOA reticle.

NO RINGS INCLUDED. I plan to keep the NF ultralight rings unless it is a deal breaker for you. $300 shipped lower 48. Would take some 20 round 5.56 SS duramags or AICS mags on trade as well as 77 smks or 168/175 smks or 168 classic hunters. Possibly a condition one max mount.
