[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2593458, member: 32525"] Only chiming in here because you mention your child…others have given great commentary on a really fle for you, but strictly looking at your child I suggest 6.5x47. It’s small and extremely efficient, achieving great ballistics with very little powder, and is easy on the shoulder without a brake, so with a brake recoil will be nearly non-existent. I had one and loved it but it was set up more for targets than game, though with a bullet swap it easily could have handled everything we have in Texas out to your listed ranges. In my opinion, the ONLY downside is that there pretty much only one company making brass for it, but it’s Lapua so quality is top tier. So, when you find some, buy a couple hundred pieces and you’re good for the life of two barrels. [/QUOTE]
