I have decided that I am going to purchase a 'Starter' rifle to get my wife to make the jump from a .22 to a centerfire caliber. The platform I have settled on in the New England Firearms Handi-rifle. I have a buddy with a few of them, and it seems like and ideal rifle, if you are okay with the idea of a single-shot.
I am trying to get people opinions on what would be the better caliber to start my wife on: .270, .308, or the one I would LIKE to get, .30-06. I would like to be able to use this gun for hunting also, and I just like the versatility of the old -06.
The thing is, I have no real personal experience with .270 or .308...what is the kick of these like compared to -06? I don't want my wife to develop a flinch from going too big, too fast.
Thanks!
