[QUOTE="watersfam, post: 2347378, member: 118754"] There are lots of great caliber choices on this forum for a little guy hunting his first white tail. If you or a friend or family member have a good collection or have a range that rents rifles in these various calibers and styles, take him to shoot a variety and see what he likes. It is not just the caliber to consider, different types of rifles of the same caliber feel different to shoot. My youngest daughter is still (at 17) afraid to shoot a 20-gauge, because the first one she tried (an H & R break action) kicked like a mule and was difficult for her to hold. She has no problem with my smaller .30-06 or the 270 even though I think they kick a little more than a 20 gauge. Her fear of that first shotgun pretty much drove her from bird hunting. You don't want him to fear the rifle and dread pulling trigger each time, so you might as well find one that he likes and fits him like a glove. [/QUOTE]
