[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 625206, member: 10723"] Two of my grandsons have taken deer in the last couple of years and both have used my Ruger 77 in 243 to take them. So I think that a 243 Win is a great caliber for a small teenager. If you want more power you can go up to a 260 Rem, a 7mm-08 or a 270 Winchester and get more without too much recoil. However, I think that a 270 WSM is too much gun for a 12 year old. I was just shooting my Winchester Model 70 in 270 WSM at the range this week along with my 7mmSAUM and I found that the recoil was close on these two guns. I was shooting 140 grain bullets out of the 270WSM and 168 bullets out of the 7mmSAUM. [/QUOTE]
