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 love my Tikkas, but if I was pinching pennies Savage is an incredible value these days.

i got my 7mm-08 at around that age. Its been 15 or so years and its still one of my favorites. Its also a really sound round.
I got the savage model. love it.

I still shoot my break action .243. That is all the gun you need for whitetail.

Got mine at 11 and it is still a killing machine. I am working up some loads using Barnes ttsx 80 grain projectiles at the moment. Going to copper rounds in all our rifles this year. Biggest thing is finding a rifle they aren’t scared to shoot. Less flinching will yield better shot placement

I just bought two boxes of these to try. I'm shooting the 100 grain Federal Premium gameking BTSP now but I like to ballistics and solid copper on the Barnes.

Anyone who says a .243 with 100 gr Remington Core Lokt won't drop a white tail dead in its tracks is ignorant.
If a person can't get a good shot on a deer, then don't take the shot. With any rifle.

A .22 lr will drop a moose in its tracks. Doesn't mean shite bout anything though.

Man one of the best guns for that age in my opinion is a .223 single shot / break over. Good caliber but also very safe and excellent for learning gun safety in the field
Although I guess that was more for like 10 years old. If he’s bigger/stronger and can shoot 243

Here is a video of my 6 year old daughter avg size and weight shooting her 7mm-08 I got for her this year. I’m using the Hornandy Reduced Recoil rounds. Youtube
Here was her grouping today.. she stacked three shots on top of each other.
I enjoy shooting that gun too. Might have to sneak it out to the stand this year.

I got a Remington 700 chambered in .25-06 and my 12 year old daughter shot a doe with it last year. It’s a good round for a youngen.

Throw the hornady reduced recoil away. I know of three different kids who’s rifles wouldn’t fire on deer with that ammo.

I was shooting a 6.5x55 at 5 and I was not a big kid. Any kid is going to be able to handle a 7mm08 with a youth sized stock. The recoil is negligible.
