Let me start by saying I am not a very good shot with a scope on a rifle. I am pretty accurate shooting my 22 with open sights. I shoot a remington 30-06 automatic. I am a skinny little fricker, 5'-8" 130#. I can shoot 4 boxes of 3" 12 gauge shotgun shells in an hour with no problems, but when I shoot my big rifle that kick is in the back of my head. I know I need to stop being a pussy.

My son is 4 and started sitting in the stand with me last year and already is asking to shoot a deer. I have my mind set on a 7mm08. My dad just bought one and absolutely loves it. Do any of yall have any reservations on this caliber. What other guns should I consider?

for you and the boy.. 7mm-08 reduced recoil ammo perfect.

if you want to shoot open sights, 30-30

Tip on shooting a rifle- squeeze slowly and let it surprise you


Sounds like you're probably jerking the trigger anticipating the recoil

Don't let these guys give you a hard time. How big are your boobs, that's what matters!

Get this and partner it up with some Barnes TSX 120 grains and call it a MF day. Badass little setup.
