Great post. Thanks for that.

I’m admittedly very new to this. My dad didn’t grow up hunting so he never took me even though I wanted too. Now my son is expressing interest and I don’t want him to miss out because I did. Sorta hoping to change the family tree here.

Sweet! Its the golden age of cheap rifles these days. It used to cost a man a whole paycheck to buy a decent rifle he could count on. These days I'm not sure you could buy an inaccurate rifle if you had to.

I would get him a .308. Soft kick, versatile, and ammo is easy to find under normal conditions. IF recoil is a concern, shoot on a sled. I taught my boys proper eye relief and have never had a problem with recoil. Id let my 11 year old shoot mag calibers just to see the look on his face.
