I have a browning 300 WSM and yes the recoil wasn't great when sighting it in but I really don't remember it and when I shoot a deer or hog I don't feel a thing. With a bigger caliber I only need one gun for when I have enough money to go get an elk. Just my $.2.
They may not notice the recoil when shooting a deer but they sure as heck will notice it when practicing. That will not only rob them of the fun of shooting their new rifle but also builds bad shooting habits that can and will effect them when shooting a deer. If the habit of flinching during the shot is learned during practice it cant be unlearned just because a deer is your target not a piece of paper.
