[QUOTE="Petras, post: 190679, member: 216"] I am with 1833 on this one. The browning hells canyon is an awesome gun. I've never shot the SPEED version, but I do have a Long Range Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor. This is by far the most pleasant gun I have ever shot. the 6.5 CM caliber is just a lower recoil round in general. Add in the muzzle break that comes standard on the Hells Canyon line and it is absolutely awesome. If your not wanting to spend the coin on something like a Hells Canyon, I'd look into the savage axis 2 or the savage model 11. Both are great guns at a great price. .243 is a great caliber for youth. I actually used a 6mm for my first 10 years of hunting and loved it. I don't have any experience with a .308 so I can't weigh in there. There are plenty of naysayers on here who call the 6.5cm a fad gun. When I can take my wife out (who has never shot a deer rifle_ and have her shooting less than 1" 3 shot groups in less than 10 rounds, that tells me that something about the gun and the caliber just flat out works. This caliber will work on all animals up to Moose. Moose may be a tough sell, but I imagine it would work on moose as well. [/QUOTE]
