[QUOTE="FishReaper, post: 124737, member: 203"] Lycan what rifles do you own that you are looking at? If you are aloud to carry the rifle for her the 308 would be perfect If not do any of your family or friends have a heavier caliber than 243 that she could use for this hunt? To me a 243 is a little light for such a tough critter. a rib or shoulder would take most of the energy away from a 243. Under ideal conditions a 243 could kill and elk very dead. But i would worry about ruining the hunt with a wounding shot that a slightly larger bore rifle could of made a kill shot [/QUOTE]
