Going to be my grandsons first shotgun. I’m sure he’ll love it too. I still have my single shot 410 from Christmas many moons ago. Best part of the gun was the quail hunt with my Grandpa the day after I got it. I’ll never forget that day. I want that for my little man.
As for best, I’m not sure but between my kids and my buddies kids. That round has dropped a lot of deer back in the day. It will also be my grandson first deer rifle cartridges in about 5 years or so.
