I'm looking at purchasing a rifle for my 10 yo son for his 1st rifle and caribou hunt this fall. I've been looking at the Tikka T3 in 25-06. I don't have any personal experience with Tikka's or this cal. Anyone have this rifle that wouldn't mind giving me there opinion on it. My son weighs about 65lbs. and I am wanting to get him something with a fairly light recoil, yet large enough to adaquately kill an animal the size of a caribou. I don't think there's an issue with the knock down power of the 25-06 on caribou size game, my biggest concern is whether or not the recoil of this cal. coupled with this light rifle would be appropriate for a 65 lb. 10 yo...Thoughts??
