[QUOTE="tydaws, post: 2940867, member: 95798"] Lots of good options this day in time. My son killed his first deer and several hogs at 6 years old with a H&R handi rifle in 223. I put a youth stock on it with a kydex cheek riser and cut the heavy barrel down to 16.5". I also added a pretty fancy rattle can camo sponge paint job, per his request. I loaded 44 gr hammer hunters for it and it did really well on whitetails. However, it left a bit to be desired on bigger Texas hogs. He hunted with that rifle for several years and did really great with it. After that, I had him a 6mm CM built. Zermatt origin action, proof 1-7.5 carbon barrel at 16.5", MDT LSS chassis with a 6 position AR style stock, timney trigger, Leupold VX5 3-15x44 & an AB Raptor 4 suppressor. He absolutely loves the rifle and shoots it really really well. I like shooting it too tbh! As mentioned, there are a lot of good options these days. It really depends on what works best for yall in terms of handload or not, ammo availability and so on. The 243 or 6mm CM are pretty hard to beat IMO. [/QUOTE]
