[QUOTE="ron jaege, post: 1800688, member: 111693"] I started my sons and nephews shooting with a Rem 700 ADL (22 in barrel) chambered in 243. 70-80 gr bullets for practice, 80 gr for antelope and 100 gr for deer. Average size kids could handle rifle at 13 yrs using a rest to shoot. Mild recoil of 243, mixed in with 22 for practice, let them develop their shooting skills. If my wife wanted to hunt I would suggest a 6.5 creedmore in same rifle. Agree that too light a rifle with more recoil is not optimal for developing shooting skills. A 223 for practice would be optimal, but too light for hunting with inexperienced hunter IMHO. [/QUOTE]
