[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2921890, member: 118823"] I agree. He will probably upgrade as time goes along. He is a lefty so he wanted to try a lefty rifle. The .308 in the tactical Savage was what was available and affordable. So now he knows he likes having a lefty rifle he can put more money into a better long range cartridge down the road. As far as a shot goes he will rival and beat out many adults... rifle or bow. I have seen him shoot the tightest groups with a 300 win mag at 400 out of several guys shooting the same rifle.(sub 2" group) He has taken probably close to 20 deer with rifle and bow so he is already getting picky. He doesn't want to shoot deer at 100 to 200 yards with a rifle. He is wanting to stretch it out so that it is somewhat challenging. He also knows how to judge his max in conditions and whether or not to take a shot on a game animal. This video shows what he has for ability.... 80 some men vs 2 boys, and Tackett won it.(Wyatt beat out about 1/2 of them) He also won another one like this last year. So he is 2 for 2 in the crazy long range bow division. LOL I tear up every time I think how blessed I am to have the family I have. About 4 years ago Tackett said, "Dad, I'll never be as good a shot as you are with a bow." Now I can't start to hold a candle to his rifle or archery skills and he is just 14.
