[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1806577, member: 24428"] I'd recomend a rifle / caliber he could grow into and be able to hunt almost any game in North America with... as a adult. Having a hunting rifle as a adult that his father gave him as a boy.. will mean even more to him when he takes 'his' son or grandson hunting with it years from now. I suggest a Bolt action Savage 110 or 111 30-06...or else a Ruger..... shooting 'low recoil' ammunition. The new Federal low recoil ammo is reported to have 50% of the recoil of a full powered load... but because of the type of bullet being used it has the same ballistics / impact point as the full size loads @ 100-200 yds. So, select a rifle he can hunt with as a man... just use low recoil ammo while he is small.

[url]http://www.ruger.com/search/[/url] I recomend staying away from the Axis and the Edge.. spend just a few bucks more and go with the better 111... I think you can get one for $350-$400 from Cheaper than Dirt. Just gotta catch one in stock... because they are very popular and sell out quickly. I have one that I bought during the holidays last year for a big holiday discount. It doesn't have the accue trigger... but it is a good well made shooter and very accurite. I put on a better scope and put the one it came with on my .22 Savage bolt action.
