I am taking my boys 12 and 10 deer hunting for the first time this fall. I am not sure what would be a good caliber rifle to get for them that they can handle and enjoy for a lifetime.
I have a couple of .270's they will eventually use but I feel this is to much for them at this age.
I have several 223's that they can and have handled without problems at the range. I'm not sure I want them hunting deer with this caliber.
I'm not real familiar with everything out there now days so I am looking for some advice. My main desire would be to have something that is proven and will be around for a while and also something that they can handle without being scared of the recoil.
