If you are hunting an area where you have to use straight walled cartridges, these legend cartridges are a good choice.
But in my opinion, if you are hunting around here where you don't have straight wall restrictions, there are better choices. If I was buying a kid a gun for around here and I wanted low recoil, I would pick up something in 6.5 Grendel. Probably a Howa Mini.
If I was hunting in an area where I had to use a straight wall cartridge, I'd look at a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in 350 legend.
Just my 2 cents.
