SOLD/EXPIRED Deer hunting riffle in a lower recoil caliber

[CjC73]

little heavier than your 7#, but it would be great low recoil

For Sale - Bob Jourdan Sako AII 250 Savage AI

Catch n release for me. Great little rifle but I have other rifles I'm going to concentrate on. This is a very nice, low round count (around 400 rounds fired) Sako A II custom built by by Bob Jourdan (gunsmith and writer for Precision Shooting magazine)in 1993. Mr. Jourdan had a wonderful...

2 days ago I was at the range with my new Browning X-Bolt Speed in 270 WSM. 6.5 pound rifle with a factory radial muzzle brake. I was surprised at how little recoil there was for a light rifle. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1024254563

Start the 270 WSM with a light bullet slightly detuned....and then as he grows, work up in bullet weight and speeds. Just tossing out an option for you....

I actually got x- bolt speed SR in 6.5 a few weeks ago. The shorter barrel makes getting in and out of boxes and general handling so much nicer. It's a soft shooter as well but those who don't like hearing protection will quickly convert after shooting this one as it's LOUD. I may end up giving this one to my youngest as it fits him so well. I had planned on giving it to my oldest son. Know it's looking like I may either get the older one a CA Mesa FFT or get another X-Bolt for him as I can get them very close in price. Unless something pops up here today that is interesting.

Looking for a lightweight deer hunting riffle for my 13 year old son. He's ok with 6.5CM but 243 or similar would be even better.
Thanks

That 788 in .243 would be perfect. My daughter started with the exact same gun shooting several deer and I borrowed it to my nephew who also shot his first deer with the 788. Guaranteed that gun will be accurate too.

Not for sale, but I bought my 12 year old a 270. Put a Limbsaver pad on it and loaded up 110gr Barnes bullets for it. Does not kick at all and is extremely accurate. As he gets a bit older I'll bump him up to 140gr bullets. Something to consider so you aren't buying him a new gun in a few years.

25/06 in something like a Kimber Montana and some 92 grain Hammers might be a good combo

Bergara in 6.5 Creedmoor?

Bought a Remington 788 years ago and out of all the guns iv bought and sold that one is still in the family. My son picked it over all the ones I had and he's still shooting and killing deer today with it. JMHO but I'd look hard at that 788 in the 243.

I'd agree on the advice to try the 788. I bought one in .22-250 about 50 years ago and it was a relatively lightweight tack driver. Great little rifles.
