[QUOTE="orangeRcode, post: 2386012, member: 2742"] What is he wanting to do with the weapon? .223, .243, and 3030 are good for large game and varmints. I would agree on the 20 gauge for a shotty. My first shotgun was a single shot 20 which I still have. Got it for Christmas after my dad said there was no way I was getting one. I sure miss that honery SOB but I digress. 22 is a great plinking round. My son is 10 and I've purchased a Browning Buckmark 22 for him and Marlin 3030 this year. He's shot the 22 a bunch and the 3030 probably 10 times. Both well suited for their purpose. He frequently shoots my pistols and rifles. Give him a chance to shoot several different calibers after you decide what purpose you are trying to fill. Don't know if that helps you or not. Good luck. Be sure and post what you ended up getting.
