I,d opt for the 270. It's recoil is light and it has more than enough jam for moose or elk

I have a .250 savage that is great for deer and very managable recoil. You might want to try one out. I think you could end up going with any number of light recoil rifles that are good for deer. You just have to see what's out there for sale and what's in your price range. My 2c Steve.
It's better to pass on a shot that you wish later you took, then to take a shot and wish later you didn't.
Thanks for your imput people...now is the job of finding a nice used rifle for him......

270 hands down cheap readily availiable ammo,and the rem managed recoil loads are not a gimmick and it is a rifle that will always have a place in anyones gun cabinet
