Deer Rifle for 14 yo girl
Posted on 2/2/19 at 6:03 pm

A coworker is moving his daughter up form a cheap Rossi .243 and needs suggestions. His daughter is deathly afraid of recoil. After some research, a 6.5 CM has piqued my interest. Obviously, she will not be testing the limits of a 6.5 CM's thousand-yard range (most shots inside of 150 yards). The only downside I can see is less knockdown power than a .308 or 30.06 (which is very forgiving closer distances). Advice?

Any energy advantage is negligible between a 6.5 cm and a .308.
My son shot his two deer with a 6.8 spc and a 6.5 grendel.
I would have no hesitation recommending those either.

In Jackson, MS, 6.5 CM is readily available.

7-08 no contest

I went with 6.5 CM because I had a lot of trouble finding 7-08 in youth size in stock. No regrets.

What brand did you get and how much do they run?

You could get something other than a 7-08 but why would you.

I wouldn’t hesitate to let my 11 year old daughter shoot regular 7-08 bullets when hunting. She won’t be able to tell the difference between them and managed recoil if shooting a deer. You can order managed recoil for target practice from bass pro cabelas midway Rodgers etc right now..

That was pretty slick. The site won’t let us downvote and upvote the same post

Another vote for 7mm08.

Why’s that? I have both and my kids have smacked them with both. The youth Model 7 in .243 is my weapon of choice, what’s yours?

.300 win mag or it ain’t dead enough!
Or .243. .260, 25-06, 7mm-08
Or .243. .260, 25-06, 7mm-08
