[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 2965650, member: 9308"] .280AI for a 12 y/o? Are you putting a muzzle break on this? Are you putting a suppressor on this? I respect you want more horsepower for elk but a .280 is too much gun for a 12 y/o. He hunts with and hits with a 6.5 Creedmoor successfully now. That is more than enough HP for an elk using the right bullet. (Nosler Partition, Swift Scirocco, Nosler Accubond, Barnes TTSX.) Try to go back to age 12. Less kick = more fun = more success. I vote for the 6.5 Creedmoor for now. Guess what would be an AWESOME 18 y/o graduation or birthday gift? A nice .280 AI rifle [/QUOTE]
