I think if I were building an AR upper in a different caliber specifically for hunting, I would probably go with the 6.5 Grendel.
why that over the 6.8? edumacate me, please.
I would go with the 30-06.
You can buy the reduced recoil loads for younger shooters, and it will something the kid can grow into. It will easily take any animal in this country.
If you reload, you can build your own low recoil loads.
Will shoot anything from 110 grain varmint loads to 200 grain bone crushers.
I did kind of like the idea of the .30 Rem on the AR platform though..
