I have really enjoyed a bolt action .223 with a heavy barrel. I haven't shot a lot of different caliber, but it has a very light recoil and I've worked loads up that shoot very well. Its just been a fun gun for me, and I like that my nephew or daughter can shoot it. My hopes are to get a .243 and have a similar experience.

Another that has recently really impressed me is a .38 special Ruger GP100 (I think a 3 or 4" barrel). All I can say is wow! Comfortable, balanced, accurate, light recoil, and easy.
