Thread: Rifle for good keen man

I would agree with ZQLewis.

6.5cm or maybe 7mm08 would be the go. 6.5creedmoor definitely seems to have overtaken 7mm08 for factory ammo options. Federal don't seem to be doing their newest lines in 7mm08 alot of the time.

I grew up shooting shotguns and my first rifle at the age of 19 I bought was a 308 and I very quickly developed a flinch. Still my main hunting rifle 12 years later but do wish I had got a lesser recoiling rifle to start with.

I didn't have someone teaching me the correct shooting techniques and trigger control though so if you are able to provide that for him then might not be such an issue. But I do think 308 and 270 can be quite intimidating for someone getting in to it if no correct training.
