[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 2069793, member: 25389"] There are numerous 243's on GunBroker. Mail order while you can! Recoil can ruin a shooter. I shot competitive small bore in grade school and high school so I was a pretty good shooter. In my mid teens, I just had to carry dad's 7mm Rem Mag when big game hunting. I got clipped with the scope a few times and developed a flinch that temporarily ruined my competitive edge. I went back to a nice heavy pre-war model 70 30-06 shooting 150 gr bullets for big game hunting and shot lots of 22LR and 22-250. Eventually, I recovered from the flinch. In later years I went back to the magnums when I was ready for them. They're still not a round I want to shoot a lot. Shooting should be a joy not punishment. I don't have experience with the 260 but 25-06 is still my goto deer gun. Depending on the shooter's size, 25-06 may be too much for a 9 or 10 year old. Good Luck!! Great to have new shooters joining our sport!!! [/QUOTE]
