[QUOTE="mooretitan, post: 1115381, member: 79147"] I am looking to build/buy a rifle for my son. He is one the small side 45lbs but love to shoot and is getting pretty good with the 223/204. Both are light non lead reloads that lose a lot after 200 yards. I am looking for something that will be able to shoot well out to 500. The gun will only be used to punch paper and steel so weight is not a factor. I would like to shoot some of the heavier bullets to keep BC up past 200 yards. I was thinking maybe a 243 but I think that might be a little much unless I put a break on it. He shot the 260 today once and did ok but I won't let him shot it much. Don't want him developing bad habits. Anyways looking for something with the kick around a 223 but with a fast enough twist to shoot heavy BC bullets out to 500. Looking for great barrel life, accuracy and low recoil without a break if possible. Thanks [/QUOTE]
