[QUOTE="Longshot38, post: 226627, member: 11627"] Alright I'll be the odd man out here. My suggestion is the good old 6.5x55, load this round with some 140 grain VLD and it would make a good viable opinion on elk sized game. Now finding a factory rifle chambered in this caliber is going to be difficult however I know a couple of smiths that could put together something in this caliber for a reasonable price. Some other opinions to consider would be: 260 Remington 284 Winchester 270 Winchester All of these rounds will give your son a rifle capable of taking elk sized game in a non-magnum round. And as I have said before I champion the 6.5x55; the swiss have been using it as moose round for many years :cool: [/QUOTE]
