[QUOTE="bullfrog, post: 525914, member: 26027"] I think the .243 winchester is perfect for kids. It's big enough to be legal everywhere that allows rifles (say you want to take him antelope hunting next) and it has less felt recoil than a .410 shotgun. I would also recommend a bolt action rifle for the better accuracy potential. I know 3-4" groups @ 100 yards is plenty good for the ranges your looking at but better accuracy will build more confidence. Especially in a young or inexperienced shooter. [/QUOTE]
