[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 1597137, member: 27974"] +1 on 6.5cm or 7-08. Both good choices and Elk worthy in range kept reasonable. I would mention that a "light enough rifle" for a young kid to carry can have some recoil. My daughter started with a 7 lb scoped rifle and we worked her into 140 gr full power loads via some practice and time with 120 gr mid-range rounds. A good stout 120 bullet in either of those calibers, (mono etip, partition, etc) might keep the recoil in check if any problems. Good luck [/QUOTE]
