desertram33 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 Sorry guys, been really busy so I haven't got to respond. I appreciate all of the opinions and advice we will be loading our own rounds and will stay around the 150 gr. bullet. I had him shoot several rounds from an 06 of my cousins to make sure he could handle the recoil and he did and liked it with a quality recoil pad and smaller grain bullet of course I would not have him shoot 180 gr. yet. He has saved up some of his own money to buy a rifle which isn't quite as much as he needs so my wife and I will be covering the rest I'm just making sure it is 100% what he wants. I told him to think about it over the weekend and let me know so we can make a decision. I also wanted him to see different options and prices of what was out there and will have him read your comments as well. Sorry for the long story. Thank you and will let you all know what he decides and or contact when he does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
