[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1400390, member: 30671"] I've set kids up with braked .338's, and 300 grain bullets. It worked! Difference being a committed mentor willing to provide time and resources. Something I haven't heard here yet. I haven't heard a scope mentioned. For the price of a Weatherby Mark 5 his mom could have him set up in a scoped 6.5 of some kind. As well as keep ammo supplied. Pride of ownership, dream rifle, hunt out west, all positives. Recoil can be managed, but trading opportunities to shoot or hunt, for a wall hanger and no supplies, is a poor start. Quite frankly until he finds a responsible adult mentor, he's floundering with whatever he gets. We had a youngster show up in camp with a .303 British hand me down, he's taken it farther than any of the others to date. Work on opportunity first. Get out mowing lawns, cleaning up yards, walking dogs, until you can do it on your own, or until someone is found to fill in the blanks. [/QUOTE]
