[QUOTE="dan45, post: 1283814, member: 4852"] You guys' thoughts on caliber for my 10 yr old sons first deer rifle? I thinkin either .308 or 7mm.08, but I have not shot the 7mm.08. How is it for recoil? My two older boys both started out with the good old .243, but I've always felt a little more bullet diameter couldn't hurt. I know that the .243 has taken about as many deer as the next cartridge, But I'm thinking I'd like to try ,I mean he might like to try, something a little different. ( I may have to break it in for him, as momma says he can't carry a rifle 'till he's 13, But he can handle my AR almost as well as me). thanks for your opinions, and please give reasons for your choice. thanks, dan [/QUOTE]
