Those 2 suffer from availability problems. My thought on a beginner gun was something ammo is easy to find for even in small towns, a proven track record for killing game, and low recoil.
6.5mms and 7-08 miss the first mark as of my last perusal of a few small town hardware stores. That being said, I'm in quite a rural area.
