[QUOTE="oOVEGGIEOo, post: 2385910, member: 14918"] While at the same time wanting to be conscious of ammo availability and cost, what would be a good first gun for my 11 year old son? I was considering a 20 gauge youth model and I've seen him handle the kick. But I want to make certain I'll be doin right by him. He's a bit on the small frame side, but tall. Has shot my 243 and done fine as well as fired a single shot full size 20 gauge. He didn't drop it lol, but it hit him fairly hard. I know 410 is a bit on the expensive side as far as ammo cost as well as 22 ammo. What about a 17? I have a 30 30, 300 wby mag, 243 auto loader, a single shot 223 and a 12 gauge at home. So when e is ready to take on something bigger he will have that. I know I can teach him to use the 223 without problems, but the kiddo has been saving up and really wants his own. [/QUOTE]
