[QUOTE="Marble, post: 960508, member: 51354"] I would think about what your son needs are for hunting, specifically thinking about what cartridge to get. Then choose a rifle of your choice. Seems to have work well for me. When I buy rifles, I buy the caliber I need and the gun I want. We hunt with smaller, non-magnum guns locally and magnum guns for elk. So we each need around 4 guns, or an extra gun or two in camp, as we hunt on horses and always bring a back-up gun to camp. We have broken, damaged or dropped many guns over the years and it's nice to have another gun ready to go. Recently I bought my son a 7-08 youth hunter Savage. But he is only 12. He isn't going to be doing any magnum hunting anytime soon, unless he gets a special draw. But luck would have it we won a Tikka T-3 7mm the other day. so everyone, including the wife, has rifles for whatever they choose to hunt. When I was 17, I had smaller cartridges and needed something bigger so I got a 7mm. Still have it. [/QUOTE]
