I've got the cash, can spend up to $2,500 on him (I won it at a Casino last week). He probably won't use it much so it'll be more of a conversation piece. Plus, I'll probably get it when he passes away someday.
Should I consider a nice engraved double barrel? Or one of those Winchester "Cowboy" rifles? Maybe a pump shotgun...he does hunt goose once in a while. Then again, he is planning to go on an Elk hunt...maybe a nice .30-'06.
He's got all kinds of different guns, but this would be his second NEW one. The onter was his first .22 bolt action he got almost sixty years ago.
What are the suggestions?

You should consider what he doesn't have and get him that.
But really, anything from you comes from the heart and any dad would be happy to get a gift like that from thier son.
Hey, maybe a hunting trip together? That would be a great gift!

How about a nice bolt action Winchester. I chose this for a few reasons. 1st. you can get it in the 30-06 caliber so he can hunt with it. 2nd Winchester is out of the bolt action rifle making business. so it will only increase in value. 3rd if you get a model with a wood stock they are very beautiful and would definitely draw attention as conversation piece.

i use a 300 winchester magnum. great ballistics and knock down power at long range, perfect for an elk hunt. i live in the east kootenay region of british columbia and have hunted deer, elk, moose, sheep, goat and bear with it. recoil is not harsh at all, my mother uses it to hunt moose every fall as well. if you buy american made you could get 2 and still have enough cash left to go back to the casino.

in case you're searching for a better ornamental piece, then i'd attempt to detect a Winchester unique Wingmaster with the unique blueing on it. they are very effective searching guns and o.k.-crafted. 12-guages are maximum straight forward, yet even those will be particularly slender to none. He will be in a position to seek with it nevertheless, yet at the same time as he's not, it would seem quite effective in a tumbler case above a mantle or some thing.

The Remington 7MM Magnum Rifle was designed for killing elk with one shot at long ranges. Anything around a .30-06 or .270 will kill an elk, but the 7MM was made for it.

I would get him a 30-06 or a .308 magnum for elk or an over-and-under 12 guage browning for geese.

If he´s not very accurate I would recommend a 155 mm howitzer.
You only have to get within a few meters of the target. Check with
local law enforcement because there may be restrictions on it´s
use.

I would get him a nice over/under shotgun. it's much more versatile than a high powered rifle. he can use it for birds, skeet, sporting clays, etc. it's not unusual for me to go through 100-150 shells in a day of alot of shooting.
if you got him the rifle, he'd probably take a few years just to go through 20. a nice o/u looks good.
