[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 2657156, member: 8855"] If the child has a .243 then he can hunt deer in Okla for the rest of his life and be fine. He can hunt antelope and coyotes too and have plenty of gun to do the job. If an H&R or NEF is purchased in .223 then there is little room for error, there is a heavy trigger to deal with and resale will be difficult when it is time to upgrade. The gun will be cheaper to purchase on today's dollars than it will be in several years with gun prices rising in the future. Buy the child a good quality bolt gun in .243 that he can grow into and have memories be built for the rest of his life. Remember you probably have fond memories of your FIRST rifle so why shouldn't he be allowed to. If he has a heavy trigger to contend with and possibly cripple and lose a deer or two then we will build negative thoughts about hunting because of a cheap gun. That is not fair to him or you. You want to build a little hunting buddy out of your child to share many hunts in the future. Buy quality first. my .02 cents [/QUOTE]
