[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1990039, member: 102867"] Hard to go wrong with a 7mm-08. Having said that, if it were me I’d build/buy him a 308. For a beginner, a 308 will kill deer @ 500 yards and out to 800 yrds dependably. I’m not a prep-er or dooms-dayer but today, as always, your first rifle should be something capable of multi use. (Hunting, shooting and self defense) That is not to say a 7/08 or 6.5 Crede is not. Its simply that the availability of shooting, hunting and match ammo for a 308 is unmatched. Even now, with ammo almost non existent, 556 and 308 ammo and components can be found. I built my son a 7/08 because he wanted one. It was not his first gun. Any of the above are solid choices [/QUOTE]
