That said, Tikka just came out with a 1-8” .243 that looks very interesting. I have a hard time thinking there’s much difference between a 75 grain .224 bullet and a 105 grain .243 bullet at distances most new hunters would shoot.

If you’re not comfortable with a .223 (it takes an open mind, believe me) look hard at the 1-8” Tikka.

Or buy them both and let her decide.


I think this is great advice. My son started with a 223 and did well with it on antelope.

Me, I'd start her with a 223 Tikka T3, and later on, when she gets used to recoil, add an identical rifle in 6.5CM.


In stainless.

Do this.
