Heres a vote for the Tamron 10-24 with my Canon T1i. I use this particular lense about 90% of the time. I've had a lot of fun with it and it won't break the bank.

Before I posed the original question I took a look at the other sites on the forum but still wasn't real sure where to place the original post. Do you know who the Lord Overseer of the Forum is? Maybe he can move it. :costumed-smiley-007
Your question is two parts: Which rifle and which caliber (.308 vs. 30/06)
Caliber first: I have taken a number of elk since I was sixteen and I have used the .243 Win., .257 Roberts, 25/06 Rem., 280 Rem., 7mm Rem. Magnum, 30/06 Spgfld., .308 Win., .338 Win. Magnum and 45/70.
Two things...
I hear you about the expedition trailers - nice rigs. We started out as tent campers and my wife insists (actually her words were something like, "Tent camping..you'll be by yourself"!) we have a hard-sided camper. So I'm thinking that a happy wife makes for a happy life. :wings:
The A-frames...
I'm enjoying your comments....hope to hear more. Right now I'm favoring the Chalet but the several thousand $$ in difference between it an others is hard to justify...until you read about some of the axle problems on Aliners. I've read in other RV forums that Aliners had some water leaking...
Our kids are grown and gone and the wife and I are looking to downsize from our very large 1996 Starcraft pop-up camper. Out of curiosity we stopped in and took a close look at the Aliner A-Frame camper. As far as appropriate size and comfort we liked what we saw.
In researching these...
I bought a Tilley TH4 Hemp several years ago, its quite worn and sure looks good ! I liked the looks of the TWC6 Outback when it was released and so bought one - I replaced the chin strap with a leather one and it looks a lot better now. I agree that the lighter colored ones don't look all that...
I've hunted elk for 44 years and have taken a few with as small as .243's up to a 45/70 but my preference is, and will always be the 30/06. For me, its probably more about tradition than anything else - I started with a 30.06 and my Ruger #1 is still my favorite. Buy what you feel good...
