[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2396245, member: 101791"] 25-06 or 270 will work just fine. They are both long actions. That way he learns with a long action than on a short action. You can use a lighter bullet in the 25/06 and a lower powder load. The 260 is a slow boat to china in my estimation. With 25-06 you achieve over 3000fps in the 115gr bullet. That will get you down range to 5 hundred yards on deer or antelope. The 234, 25/05, and 260 are little light for Elk, and you better be a great on shot placement. [/QUOTE]
