While the 243 is fine for the elk. The 7mm-08 will shine. The heavy bullet selection for the 7mm-08 will be much better.
7-08 covers a sweet spot in ballistics without "skimping" on kill power like some would say about the 243 on bigger game. A 7-08 will do everything a 308 will just a bit flatter with the right circumstances. Bought one for my wife for her first rifle and she has always enjoyed it.
wouldn't mind finding a youth lefty in this caliber, might have to make one. can't stand the axis, but Remington makes a 700 in youth left hand.
