Caliber for elk

[CUatTheEnd]

Thanks for the input guys! I asked the caliber question, because my friend drew a bull elk tag, but fell on hard times and can't afford a proper rifle. Our best solution is to mount a 3x9 scope that he already has onto my SKS. I ordered a 5 round clip and some 123 gr Federal Fusion to button up the package. Can anyone offer me thoughts or concerns about this setup? Thanks in advance!

When are you going? Hit me up, I may have a solution.

Thanks
