Ok guys, need some advice. I currently have the following three Tikka rifles.
6.5 Creedmoor
7mm-08 Compact
223
I bought the 7mm-08 for my daughter to use, before I purchased the 223. The more i learn about and gain experience shooting the more I want to gravitate towards lighter recoiling cartridges, especially when it come to teaching my kids to shoot. My 11yo daughter has shot the 7mm-08 with the reduced recoil loads, but not anything full power. After I shot full power loads in the 7mm-08 I really feel like it has a bit more recoil than my 6.5. My question is should I rebarrel the 7mm-08 to a 6 Creedmoor, or should I go with another 6.5 Creedmoor for easier reloading. I have two other kids coming along as well. What do you guys think?
