Am I the only one who was given a .270 and told to learn how to shoot it, cause that is what you are going to shoot. I was a taller kid, but I don't ever remember having trouble shooting it.

I still got my Ruger M7 .270 I was killing deer with at 9 or so... Full size, but like you I was lanky and could hold it with a rest. I know I started sitting by myself at 12. That was a big step.
