[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2033700, member: 8907"] Like mentioned previously, a .25 or 6mm is a good place to start. A 257Roberts would be sweet IMHO. Then you have things like the 6XC, 6BR, 6mm PPC, 6x47 Lapua, etc. which are all pretty good light recoiling choices. With good shooter skill and appropriate loads, all are capable of taking deer size game and would make good lightweight hunters. I have a featherweight 7x57 that is a real soft shooter with classic "pre-WWII" style loads. And, you don't have to load it like a 7mm Remington Magnum to be effective for North American hunts. Being an Intermediate cartridge though can cause some issues with 'custom' rifles however, my Winchester bolt action shoots them all without complaint its a real winner IMHO. [/QUOTE]
