I love my 30-30, but hte physcial size got to small for me. I couldn't ever get a scope mounted right that I could throw up and see easily without constantly adjusting my head. Other than that I would still be using it.

I guess I'm just ignorant to the size of the lead being important in the kick. But I guess that makes since, F=ma so if you increase m or a you increase the force and hence the kickback. The .243 has more powder so more a, but also less mass so less m.

I may have to look for a .243 then. I'll wait though until he's pretty good with the 22 first
