with a brake is an amazing device as to how light the recoil is. A 5 lb. Contender with a 14" barrel and brake recoils like a .223. I'm not joking! The .280 GNR on the 6 lb. Encore and a slightly longer barrel would be the tits. I highly recommend a 14+2" braked barrel, the tapered one GNR suggested. It may cost a little more but you can use it as carbine OR handgun and it really works in both capacities! My son has a 7mm-08 like that and seriously recoil is not any type of consideration, I'd let a 6 yr. old shoot it.
Now it will blow all the stuff off the shooting benches on both sides of you at the range! But it bothers the shooter much less, that blast. LOL
