When others talk about youth rifles, I bought this, and a Ruger M77 compact in 6.8 spc. To very good calibers in lightweight rifles that dont recoil. My oldest no longer hunts, but going on 4 years now with my soon to be 15 year old daughter, and she uses a 6.5 cm. Love that CZ for some reason.

Tikka 30-06, loaded with Barnes TTSX, gives me confidence for deer, elk, moose, and bear hunting.

300 wm

7mm Rem mag, that's my favorite.

When I graduated high school my dad gave me a rem 700 sps tactical in .308. I modified and altered the heck out of it, and eventually shot the barrel out. I had it bored to .375, and built a .375/.308 (or 375 jaguar). It's bizarre and cool and has history that means a lot to me. I haven't killed anything with it yet, but it's certainly my favorite rifle.

The 6.5 Grendel is another excellent caliber for youth and recoil shy individuals. There's very little recoil yet they do an excellent job on deer.

I picked up a Springfield Waypoint in 308 and it has been my go to hunting rifle for the past couple years. Rifle Shoots lights out with handloaded 165gr Sierra GameChangers. Plus my son took his first deer with it so it's got some sentimental value to it.

Congratulations to your son! As a father that feeling is much better than when you pull the trigger yourself.
