  • Kid's first hunting rifle?

    My son will be 10 by the time season comes around. I want to get him out there and am debating on a caliber to grow with.

    Any tips or suggestions? I've been debating 6.5 Creedmoor and .243.

        What has he shot so far? Can't say what to suggest if I don't know what he's been exposed to.

            .243 all the way! Let him pick it out. He'll love it more that way.

                  I got my first deer with a Marlin .30-30. Something about a lever action just feels right for a first rifle

                      A Tikka t3x lite in 243 would be the bees knees of first hunting rifles. Problem is you may like it too much to share.

                        How about a 270?

                          He went with the 6.5 because no one suggested it and that is what he wanted anyway.
