[QUOTE="LB, post: 83152, member: 2721"] There are a million choices available. My first thought is either a 250 Ackley or a 257 Roberts, but the requirements are not that exclusive, so anything from 243 to 308 comes into play. The real stumbling point is that elk hunt in the future. I'd look at the 7X57 class of chamberings, maybe a 284Winchester, if you are wanting to keep her in a short action? That's where you can get selective in a 308 with 125 grain bullets for her deer hunting and come up with a 165 grain load for that elk hunt. Yes, a million possibilities, but some are better than others. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
