[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 2789331, member: 123496"] Here in Alberta, .23 caliber or greater is required for big game hunting. I always thought a MSR in 6.5 Grendel would be a great first hunting rifle for my boys. They could practice on gopher and coyotes with 223 and then when they’re 12 (youngest legal age for big game hunting) use the Grendel for their first deer. Have a Tikka 243 compact as well, but the adjustable length of pull and extremely light recoil seemed to be a perfect answer for a deer rifle inside 250 yds. I like my 7RM, but it’s overkill. Unfortunately, our stupid government banned the few non restricted semiauto ‘assault style’ rifles that were legal in Canada. So, I made the best of things and got a Maple Ridge Renegade straight pull with a 12.5 “ barrel in 6.5 Grendel. Is no restricted, and will be awesome for them to carry or use in a tree stand. It looks like this: I have a 223 and a 6.5 Grendel for it. [/QUOTE]
