[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1317280, member: 30902"] My first centerfire rifle was a 7mm Rem mag given me by my dad for my 14th or 15th birthday and it's a great round to start with. You can load it down for "managed recoil" for a kid starting out and he/she can grow into faster and heavier loads as they grow up. Mine did exactly what I needed it to do for over 20 years when I then stepped up to the 7mm STW. I spent pretty much the entire year last year shooting the .260 Rem at everything from small varmints to very large hogs and the wife and I filled several freezers with deer and wild hog all taken with the .260. She's rather petite and not a fan of recoil and seems to have really taken to the .260. The 6.5x55 is another good choice for the same reasons since it's basically the ballistic twin of the .260 and has been used to take virtually all game around the world for over a hundred years now. It still remains very popular in Africa for all of the plains game and in Europe for Moose, Red Deer, and Wild Boar. We also have a near endless supply of choices when it comes to high BC quality bullets for the 6.5's and 7mm's as well. [/QUOTE]
