what too buy for my son

[michaelkolbe]

I was wounding. What kind of rifle to buy. For my nine yr old to hunt with.

[tracker]

My first what a 243. I still have it and hunt with it.

[bigbird]

Got my son a rem 243 youth , now you daughter uses it

[JMG]

Have to agree with the .243. What my dad started us on and my daughter uses the same gun now.

[BOHICA]

I have a 10 year old son, and he has a youth model 7mm08, very nice and little recoil, you can also buy the remington managed recoil shells, doesn't change trajectory and reduces the kick by 50%, add a limbsaver butt pad and it is like shooting a 22

[BigFoot]

Took my first deer at 8 with a .270 still in love with that gun.

[bboswell]

Both mine started with .243 at ages 6 & 7 because we had the guns. Had I bought guns they would have been 7mm-08

Now ages 11 & 13 they are shooting 7mm-08 & .270.

Mission craze bow ooops-- mine has a 243 , also he took the deer in my avitar with it. He is 9

[BOHICA]

I have a buddy who has been using a 270 for years, my first gun was a 30-30, still have it, but now it is hanging in a display case on the wall

[rocky]

Just an observation.

270 with manage recoil rounds and a limb saver recoil pad

[Davoh]

I killed my first 6 or 7 deer with a .243win, before moving to a .308win... an old heavy marlin .30-30 would be a good one too...

[BOWMAN1836]

22 250

[BOHICA]

any of these suggestions would be good, the key is to get one that fits as best you can, I always have a set of shooting sticks for my son when hunting from a ground blind just to make it as stable as possible

I have to agree.. I have . 243 Rossi Single shot for my 11 y/o kiddo and a 7mm08.. he preferes the 7mm08..and the managed recoil shells are perfect for him..
