[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5104895, member: 12277"] I've never shot a 7mm-08 but have recommended and ordered several for other people who wanted a kid's deer rifle that would be able to be used as their adult gun later also. Honestly you could buy a 7mm-08 and never buy another deer rifle if you wanted to be practical. Perish the thought though! :) If you load your own ammo you can even download it using H4895 to recoil even less that factory ammo while still killing deer out to 150 to 200 yards easily. The rifle I let my daughter use for deer when she hunted was a CZ Carbine in 7.62x39. It's something I already had that was gentle on the shoulder so that's why she used it. The 7.62x39 probably recoils a bit less than the 7mm-08 but isn't as good for longer range shots of course. I love that little CZ carbine though because of how easily it carries. It's so light and short that you almost forget you even have a gun when carrying it . [/QUOTE]
