Thread: Rifle for good keen man

This subject’s been done to death in the past but here’s my 2c; a suppressed tikka is what I would be looking for in one of the following cartridges:
-243. This is a very good option due to minimal recoil and a low chance of the shooter developing a flinch. I’ve found them to be very effective for general hunting but they have some limitations compared to heavier calibers
-6.5 creedmoor. Great ballistics and low recoil, they are popular for good reason
-7mm08/308. Not a lot of difference between these two, they’re both great all rounders. The 7mm has a slight advantage in open country and the 308 is arguably better in the bush and has a better selection of factory ammo. The 308 is probably at the upper end of recoil for a new shooter, a limbsaver as well as suppressor might be the go
-270. This would be my least favoured option due to recoil, suppressor and limbsaver compulsory for a new shooter!
