Thread: First Rifle For Lad

[QUOTE=oraki;526402]I agree with aim for the big bit. This fella is a very experienced varmitter, and has an absolute tack driver of a 223. I don't question the rifle in his hands but the head is very small for beginner.
Googling recoil says the 6.5 is more than 243, but as you say download and build up. Much easier 25 year ago. Was only 243, 270 & 308 on the shelf that I could afford. I went middle of road, and it was ducks nuts then.
I'll try and hook up with you guys again at some stage.
Should get membership to the new range as well. But 6 minutes drive is along way........[/QUOTE @oraki if recoil is a concern fit a limbsaver, I have one on my 264 WM with a light trigger and it is a pussy cat to shoot. they really do make that much difference. buy a old carl gustov 6.5x55 fit a limbsaver your .22 will have more recoil. people often suggest fitting a can or brake to reduce recoil when you only need to reduce the felt effect for about $80 a limbsaver all day you can always wear ear muffs if its to loud.
