[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1640818, member: 96251"] Lots of good info here for the op for sure. To the gentleman who said children under ten shouldn’t own a centerfire rifle , sir I believe you should probably reevaluate your statement. I completely agree that kids should progress with firearms, but to state that they shouldn’t hunt you’ve fell and bumped your noodle. Both my sons owned a 223 H&R single shot by the time they were 5 yrs old. And were and still are proficient with them. I was with both my sons on opening morning of buck season that very year and both killed respectable bucks . The youngest one killed his at 50 yards drt. The oldest one about an hour later shot his at 120 yards it went straight down the hill about 40 yards and piled up. Both deer were shot with what I thought at that time was the best bullet for caliber a 60 gr Nosler Partition. If it were now I might consider a Barnes maybe but doubtful. As for the op once my two sons hit 12 I got the older one a savage 7-08 he has flat killed a truck load of deer and black bear with it loading the 120 sierras. He calls them his whammy shells lol. The youngest son at age 12 got a savage 260 and has done the same , tags out every year. I do not recommend 100 Nosler ballistic tips for it for deer hunting because it destroys lots of meat. Both my sons have moved on up with calibers now the oldest inherited my dads German made 300 weatherby and absolutely loves shooting it. And the younger son hunts with my great uncles 300 win mag model 70. [/QUOTE]
