Might look at having a mauser rifle rebarreled to 338-06. It' s a medium bore, more than enough bullet for deer or elk at any normal range. It would also come in under the $600 - $700 mark.

I know it is a 30-06 case but so is the 270, 280, 25-06, 35 whelen, 400 whelen. Just about any cartridge that he gets will certainly not be a new design unless he goes with a new short magnum of either manufacturer.

Or if he reloads look at the 338-08.

I have a list of hundreds of cartriges, fron the norm to abscure wild cats, at school that I' ll look at tomorow and see what' s on there.
