[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2960416, member: 107750"] Being fully aware that older cartridges like 243win, 270win, 7-08, 308 can serve as a very good option for this point, if I was buying a new, young hunter their first deer rifle I would probably choose the 6.5CM. There are many options at the LGS for both the rifle itself as well as quality ammo including the very light recoil loads that I would want to start them with and it grows with them so they can still hunt with it using up to 140 grain loads that are also readily available. I only own one 6.5CM and that is a Barrett Fieldcraft ... for all of the same reasons the 6.5CM makes sense for a young hunter, it is also relatively easy to shoot accurately in very lightweight guns.
