[QUOTE="ArealGunNut, post: 1393696, member: 15678"] Im gona throw an idea out there, Im not an expert but do have quite abit of time behind a trigger. The best cal is the one you cam shoot comfortably and put that bullet where it needs to go. Focus on what you find pleasent to shoot and practice every chance you get. People will tell you how much better this round is over that round and 90% of it is pure opinion. Realistly will you be shooting at whitetail at 400yrds? Very few, and i mean very few people can shoot 400yrds from a cold bore and hit a pie plate sized vital area of a whitetail! This is his first rifle so i doubt he is a reloader so factory bullet selection does come into play alittle. Im recommending a nice bolt gun of your choice around 600 spend 3-400 on good optics and that will leave ya 2-300 for ammo,cleaning supplys and more ammo. Id say 243,308 in SA or 25-06,30-06 in a long action. Nikon,burris, or a weaver grandslam for the money. If you decide at a later date to go Elk,bear,moose hunting you probably will be able to buy another rifle at that time. If the bigger is better crowd really believed it, they would all be shooting 50bmg's! [/QUOTE]
