Thanks for all the input guys. Remember, it's for my 11 year old, so recoil is a huge factor. I've never fired the 7mm-08. Is it significantly more than a .243? I only mention the .243 because I've fired a lot of them, so I can use it as a reference.

Hey Reb, great website. One question, if they don't have an FFL, can they ship to an FFL in Ca.? Most didn't have phone numbers or I would've called myself. Anyway, now I've got to think about this some more. I'll probably wait a week or two and if the 6mm is still there, I'll make him a low ball offer and see what happens.
