[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1226230, member: 51405"] 223 is a good idea and if anything I would rather work up gradually so he doesn't get gun shy or develop a flinch. I had thought about going straight to a 243 or 260 from a 22, but a 783 with scope for $349 is not bad - well worth the investment IMO. Once he is fine with that a 243 or 260 would be fine. My father didn't hunt deer, only birds, so he had me shoot a friends gun, which happened to be a 270. I had shot a 20 gauge and a 22 prior to the 270, and a shotgun may have similar recoil to a 270 but when shooting skeet or birds I never really notice it, and as someone else mentioned, the bang of the 270 is noticeably more than a 20ga. I then bought a 270 and developed a flinch not too long after that. I share that bc, if anything, I will lean to the other end of the spectrum with my son and bring him along in steps even if it takes a little more time and $$ to get to his first deer. [/QUOTE]
