	Britni Smith shot an elk (6x6) with a rifle re-bored by her Grandpa Ron Smith (RKS).

	Very nice! Also that’s the sweetest looking elk country! Every time I get one it’s up and down not flat, I’m jealous! Congratulations smile says it all.

	She only shot once so it must be a single shot. She never mentioned the caliber to me.

	So you are saying "I only shot it once rifle" is not a single shot rifle? Now you sound like Westerner.

	I could guess that the rebore may have been from 308 or 243 to the 358 win. Good close up elk killer Savage did chamber the 99 in 358W. beltfed/arnie

	With that flat landscape I just cannot imagine that shot without a pretty powerful magnum and many hundreds of yards away. How did you manage it.
