The feel can vary a lot between rifles depending on the weight and personal fit - subjectively my unsuppressed Savage Classic 7mm08 (same as the one Nibblet linked earlier) and suppressed Ruger...

Oaraki Your not that far from me and Tussock is inbetween, we can easily get that 6.5 going if you want to maybe take the plunge and reload. There are others in you area that would help as well....

I suppose it is very subjective and depends on the person and the rifle, but I feel like if someone finds a suppressed .270 or 7mm08 comfortable to shoot then a suppressed .308 won't be a problem for...

If your car has one of those little "Apex" or "Jucy" stickers in the back window I'm pretty sure you can just drive up the middle GM

It is a good offer. Bare in mind as you go along your journey and inevitably start reloading (its a great father and son activity) that 2209 will work in most common calibers. 243, 6.5, 270, 7-08,...

Plenty of opinions already nut I'll add my 2c. Use a 308 suppressed tikka regularly and don't notice the recoil, played with a 243 and like it but not really up to 400m shots that you could need in...

Just to put my 2c in - I'm a smallish frame, 26yo female with a fair bit of shooting under my belt. I wouldn't say I'm perfect by any means, but I'm pretty comfortable behind a rifle. Like I said...

243 is the ideal starter centrefire - light on recoil but plenty of punch to do the job

oraki I haven't read through all of the comments. But have read about 30. From the start I am thinking either a 243, 308 or 7-08 in a rifle that fits him well! A 243 maybe on the smaller side, but...
