Have T3x Lite Compact .223 - next up .270 low recoil?

[ckaz34]

My 11 yo has shot a .223 for years and started shooting a .243 last year. He did not like the .270 weatherby recoil at all. Tried a tikka 6.5CM a few months ago with 140gr anmmo and he did fine. He felt it was similar recoil to the .243

You can make some reduced recoil rounds for the 6.5cm. My kids both have light 6.5cm kimber hunters and it’s a great round. It still kicks like crazy with a regular load though in a light rifle, just like the old 308’s use to.

A heavy gun shooting off of a good rest is a great option and not shooting without being set. My youngest had been killing deer with my 280AI for years and he was a tiny kid. The rifle also weighs 13lbs so it’s Mellow to shoot. My 120lb wife also hunts with the AI. The only issue is that off hand shots are 100% off the table, it’s never cost us an animal yet though.
