If I were to take an Elk it'd be with my 308win Rem 700 with a 4-12x VX-Freedom on top.
Probably use the 165gr SGK's I've already got loaded up. With enough heads up I might work up a 180gr RNSP load though as long as I'm not expecting the distances involved to be too great.

Re: Elk Rifle & Cartridge
A pre 64 mod 70 that I lightened the stock on in 30-06. She'll do fine with my stockpile of Remington core-lok for years to come.
