He has a perfect all around hunting rifle right now. Ammo is available for it too. I'd consider getting more, because once it's gone, it will be a while before any rolls off the lines. If it doesn't have a great scope, an upgrade there could be nice. If you are planning on buying him a new rifle, you need to plan the ammo out too. It will remain scarce through the next year.
Agree. No need for light 06 bullets if he's got a 257. (This was why I asked earlier if he really needs an "all around" rifle or just one for sruff elk sized and up.) I'd stockpile components and then he's set for decades... regardless of whether he gets a new gun or not.
