[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2900416, member: 2550"] That's awesome!!! About that age I started with a 25-06, and progressed up to .300 calibers.........my dad's rifles. .300-Weatherby, .300 Win mag, and the one that kicked like an angry mule...his .300 H&H. ***One time at a family get together, my uncle let me and his son(my cousin) shoot his .10 guage shotgun.........if I remember correctly it was a Mossberg bolt action goose gun. Brother it kicked!!! We were about 8-10 years old and gave those tin cans fits!!! Well, we'd shoot a few rounds........run over to the picnic table to get a drink, let our shoulders rest, and complain how that gun kicked...but we loved shooting it. My granddad was tired of hearing us talk about how much it kicked and pronounced how he was going to shoot it and show us that it didn't kick anymore than a .16 guage shotgun. He chambered that gun, swung it up to his shoulder, fired at that tin can and ............just stood there for about 8 seconds. He didn't say one word, handed the shotgun to my cousin, walked back to the picnic table.........grabbed a cold Coor's and still didn't say anything until he had finished that beer. Just watch the kid and make sure he doesn't press his face close to the end-rim of that scope. My brother in law found out what a smooth action trigger job was on that .300 H&H.....the right side of his face was swollen for a few weeks and he got a couple of stiches!!! [/QUOTE]
