    Considering a 350 Legend in Bolt Action for my Daughter

    I'm looking for a bolt-action for my small framed daughter who has shot .223 and .243 but I beleive the .243 recoil has her gun shy. I'm strongly considering the 350 legend due to its bullet diameter, range capability out to 200 yards and very light recoil.

    Are there any other similar caliber-capable rounds I should look at with recoil less than the .243?

      Put a can on a 16” Grendel and you would be able to shoot it up against your lips.

            Grendel in a Howa mini gets my vote.

              You can't really go wrong with any of those rounds larger than 22cal meant for the AR platform.

              Personally, I would go the 6.5, 6.8spc or 300 blackout over the 35 for a 200yd gun as killing performance is there & you still get less recoil for the kiddo. I've killed several does out to 200 with a 12.5sbr with the blackout. A good bolt would do nothing but improve it. I think the 6.8spc is a little better but dead is dead.

                  I started my kids out on 300 blk and 243 last season. This season they switched to 6.5 Grendel this year. The recoil is noticeably less than 243 and performs better than 300 blk IMO.
                  I really like the Grendel. Light recoil but good performance on deer and hogs

                    I would check some recoil calculators, i doubt the 350 recoils any less than a 243, and it might recoil more.....

                    I would look at a 300 hammr with a comp

                        Yep hands down gets my vote. Doesn’t matter what platform it will be the ticket. Add a can to it and it’s even more fun to shoot.

                        There are plenty of ballistic facts to back up your opinion, ESPECIALLY past 100 yards.

                          A CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel sure would be a nice rifle for her. She'd have it forever.
