I would go 6.5 Creed - subtly more recoil than a .243. Many, many factory ammo options beyond a 7-08, many rifle options beyond the 7-08 & scary accurate out of the box equals a 7-08 in same rifles.
I’ve pushed this easy button twice and couldn’t be more happy that I did & and I’m a stubborn Dane! Took me 13 years to try it. Just bought a T3x for my youngest daughter to fiddle with once she masters the 222. Of course I’ll be making sure it’s OK till she’s ready 😜
