Sounds like a good buy to me.
I don't have one but have hunted with others that do and I'm impressed. It carries a lot of energy waaaay out there. If there is a better elk cartridge out there - it wouldn't be better by much. I like the way it carries a 200 grain .30 cal. bullet as flat as it does.
Ammunition is more expensive than say a .300 Win. Mag (my current elk rifle) or even .300 RUM.
Other than that, it kicks and barks like any .300 magnum is going to. It's going to have a long, heavy action and long tube just like any other large, hungry .300 magnum.
If you don't mind what it does on your end, it's devastating on the other. Makes me wish I had one, but my next elk rifle would be a .300 RUM. Unless I could buy a .300 Wby for $400 Canadian.
