Default RE: The kids first deer rifle?

If it' s a light recoiling rifle your after I have a braked 30-378 Wby Improved that recoils the same as a 243 Win shooting 60 grainers. It' s has plenty of range too! Loaded with 115grs of H-5010 behind a 180 it does alittle over 3500fps.

oh oh oh never mind the above, it' s not for sale. Any of the small .257, .264, .284 or even .308 calibers will work. It' s a trade off though, a light rifle will be easier to handle and the recoil will slap you harder and a heavier gun will be harder handle and the recoil is moot. it' s really up to you which is the lesser of 2 evils[>:]
