I have a friend at work that is just starting to get into hunting, and he is looking for his first rifle. We live in southern Kansas and he knows that he wants to hunt deer. At this time he is unsure if he wants to hunt elk or antelope. Mimimum caliber for deer is .24 and .26 for elk. He is not sure how long it will be before he buys a second gun, if at all. Knowing these facts, I have been trying to steer him toward a 7mm rem mag. I have also mentioned that a 270 and 30-06 are also acceptable for Kansas game. I do not want him to get gun that shootshard to find ammunition. Is my suggestion correct or should i try to steer him a different way?
