[QUOTE="Stokesrjsr, post: 2941072, member: 108548"] I raised four sons who all killed their first big game animals when they were ten years old, which is the minimum age here in Arizona. I built them a Remington Model 7 in 243 Winchester which worked well for them but I have since rebarreled that rifle to 6.5 Creedmoor. My Grand daughter then used it to take her first big game animal with it. Between myself, my sons, and grand kids that rifle has taken a couple hundred big game animals. If doing it all over again, I would go straight to the 6.5 Creedmoor, it is simply better for this purpose. I did not let them take any shots over 300 yards with either caliber but the Creedmoor was noticeably more decisive than the .243 and recoil is very little difference. I did download the Creedmoor for my grand daughter using a 90 grain Speer TNT at about 2400 fps and an aimpoint micro H red dot because she had trouble with eye relief. That worked like a charm.
