[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2916143, member: 95344"] I would stay away from the larger cartridges for now. Recoil or "kick" can cause long term shooting technique issues. His size helps him but the experience he has is the difference. Many boys and young men developed problems early on from shooting larger cartridges so don't be discouraged. Most firearms instructors know it's better to start with the lower recoiling rifles and work your way up. If you 7 PRC has a muzzle brake or if the recoil doesn't bother you then great. Otherwise a 6.5 creedmoor or even 6mm creedmoor would serve you well as a training rifle. I'd say if you could swing it a Nightforce NXS scope or even SHV would be fine. And use the rest of the money to get some good training. That training will help in all areas of your new found hobby. And from the sounds of it the training will be invaluable on the ranch. My 2 cents from the peanut gallery. [/QUOTE]
