[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2619674, member: 879"] To summarize the best of advice thus far: 1. Don't buy a Christensen 2. Don't get your 16 year old a Mega Magnum he will hate shooting. 3. But if he wants a magnum, get a muzzle brake. Brands you can get with confidence: Sauer 100, Bergara, Browning X Bolt, and on the less expensive end of the spectrum, Weatherby Vanguard. I would add Mauser M18 as a great first rifle. Not saying Winchester 70 or Remington 700 couldn't also fill the bill, but you roll the dice on factory rifles. Some are safer bets than others. Another question to consider, does your son enjoy working on a rifle to improve it? Or, does he just want an out of the box shooter? [/QUOTE]
