[QUOTE="gunlover05, post: 1144816, member: 92238"] +1 for 260 if you reload. I recently bought a Tikka CTR and hunted with my 11 yr old during gun season (no shooters though). I have become a fan of the 260 as a good fit between 243 and 308, and man is it accurate and soft shooting. For general hunting I would now seriously consider a Tikka T3 lite and add a pachmar recoil pad just for good measure. I love my CTR but you might not need a 10rd magazine and midweight barrel, although the extra weight does soak up some recoil. If you don't reload a 243 might be best first gun, as to try and avoid flinch. Lots of deer killed with 243 with good bullets, ammo found everywhere. Again Tikka might be interesting, Savage is another good choice I hear and can get in youth stock sizes and then upgrade later. For that matter Tikka comes in youth now as well. [/QUOTE]
