[QUOTE="FGT6, post: 1255399, member: 98803"] on his first elk hunt next year. My son (11years old) and I will be going on our first father / son elk hunt to NM next year and am looking to build a gun for him for his birthday in March. I am more of an archery guy myself and have limited knowledge on the gun / caliber front. After doing some research, I think I narrowed it down to either a .308 or 7mm-08. Does that seem about right? Also, where we will be hunting, you "step out the door" at about 300 yards. He shoots my .22-250 really well at long range (400+ yards) so shooting a rifle isn't necessarily new to him. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated from this newb! Thanks, Brian [/QUOTE]
