[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1291546, member: 32318"] I have a 243 and 257wby and shot my Dad's 25-06 a bit in the past. The 243 is a great gun for kids and is pretty versatile. I bought mine mainly for the occasional hunt and something cheap for long(ish) target practice. My nephew shoots the 95gr sst in his and I load 105 amax's in mine. I never noticed much difference in recoil between the two and works well on deer with good shots. The 25-06 is also a great round. If you are at all considering the Sendero then I would lean towards the 25-06. A little more punch and the weight of a Sendero should be easy on recoil. That being said, the kids may have more trouble handling a heavier gun. A 257wby to me is almost identical in recoil to a 270. A 25-06 would be noticeably less and can be even more so depending on the weight of the gun. [/QUOTE]
