[QUOTE="SEJohnson73, post: 2347241, member: 112053"] If he's very new to shooting, managing muzzle blast will likely be as challenging as recoil. A lot of guys mentioned great intermediate cartridges in the thread, but most of them are best served with a suppressor especially for a new shooter. A suppressor will also add significant front end weight and make out of state hunting trips more cumbersome (extra paperwork to travel with a can). My 10 year old shoots a 300 Blackout and it kills big, corn-fed Nebraska whitetail deer just fine. Muzzle blast is minimal, recoil is non-existent....but most of all the rifle is physically small enough he can handle it safely in the field. 7.62x39 and 6.8 SPC are other nice "easy going" intermediates that are great for getting young folks started right. They grow up too fast, sometimes it's hard for me to keep the cart behind the horse; I totally get that aspect too... wishing you and your son nothing but success and enjoyment. [/QUOTE]
