You can get McMillan stock in classic sako down the road...seen a lot of Macmillan stocked vanguard stainless that are pretty drool worthy rigs that shoot. Tikka another fave of mine, the laminate stock is 3/4 lb heavier than synthetic which makes recoil that much easier as they are light rifles! Little bit lore money for laminate stainless though...worth it? Another one I’m curious about is x-bolt in creedmoor, I’ve never been a browning guy but have to admit there is some curiosity on the xbolt platform, look into it. Good luck

He said he is interested in elk and moose hunting. 270 would be the smallest he should go. There are smaller cartridges suited to recoil sensitive shooters, and those are adequate performance for deer, but striving for minimal recoil shouldn't precede having proper knock down energy for on a bigger animal like elk and moose.
