[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1800061, member: 101791"] I started my sons on 22 rifle. It was a shorten or cut down rifle. Single shot bolt action. Being they were 4 years apart. It work out fine. From there they when to a 26/06 Rem 700 BDL for deer hunting. I gotten a youth 20 gauge for bird hunting. They both moved on to 12 gauges, and 308 Norma Mags. Hunted in several different states, and Africa too. I am a hand loader and they have followed. Now I have grand children the oldest are 7 years old. I got them a 22 rifle kids rifle, and my son is teaching them to shot now. Giving a 300 mag is to much to start with for a young child in the 10 to 14 age range. It also depend on the size of the child too. The rifle need to fix them too. They need to mount the rifle correctly otherwise that can make them handle incorrectly and kick the hell out of them. Nothing is better than hunting with your kids. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
