re: Looking for a deer rifle for my son

I bought my son a Remington model 700 youth gun in .243 when he was 9. eBay is full of Remington sa stocks for when he outgrows it. If you are hunting timber you will never get a shot over 100 yards anyway. 243 is an excellent whitetail cartridge at moderate ranges (300 yards). When you are young you think you need all these magnum rifles to kill deer but you really don't.

All this coming from someone who shoots coyotes with a .257 weatherby MAG?
Just giving you a hard time, and yes you are right, does not take a magnum to kill a deer, I have a 7 mag that I have killed more deer with than all other guns I own combined and I love it, but bought a .270 last yeAr that is quickly becoming my favorite.
