if your talking elk praire hunting [long distances] than a 270. is perfect, but if its woodland hunting, [meduim range] than a good old 12 gauge shotgun with a slug is perfect, better yet start him off with a 30-30, or 12 gauge thata way hell be used to shooting a loud medium recoil weapon and wont flinch or jerk or be scared of recoil when hell get older and use bigger rifles
