This is a gun question, but in the context of a hunting discussion. Going for elk and mule deer this fall in CO, taking my 14 yo with me. He will have an OTC elk tag. His current rifle for SoCal deer is a single shot .243, so I need to upgrade him, probably for his birthday in June. So, I am thinking 7mm Mag or 270. This will be our only hunt like this in the near future, and after that, it''ll be back to SoCal deer. What would be the best round to look into?
Remington makes (used to) a good entry level 7mm Mag that gets great reviews, but sold out everywhere. Trying to not break the bank.
Any other ideas? 6.5 Creed, .308 (What I will use), etc. Thoughts?
