So my dad passed about 6 years ago and left me with some heirlooms.
My son, who is now 8, has been into hunting since a kid. Always gone with me. He mentioned the other day that he wants to hunt now.
I said great and that he would need to take a Hunter's Safety Course to hunt by himself. Dad is still gonna go with him though.
He turns 9 in June and I'm thinking about giving him my dad's old (1980 model) Ruger M77 in 6 mm Remington. He is a bigger kid 100 lb. and about 5 foot tall so far.
What are your thoughts on this caliber and rifle? We can hand load so ammo availability is not a huge concern.
He mainly wants to hunt WT deer and hogs.
