[QUOTE="Jonoton, post: 2269712, member: 100300"] Another vote for a BLR in .243 or 308 What I got my first few deer with at your son's age Solid scope mounting and better than average iron sights Drop the magazine and extract the chambered round for safety when moving about, less fiddly and convenient than racking through a tube fed gun. ***Opportunity to lose the magazine and then get sticker shock on a replacement, though! Accurate More versatile than a 30-30 In .243 the recoil is pleasant, more so than my 30-30 guns. I have a Mossberg 30-30 with a squishy recoil pad, and while it is certainly not painful the recoil is more significant than my .243 blr. I also have a Savage 99 in 300 Savage, and it seems like a wonderful rifle which is a joy to carry about. Unfortunately, my specimen has a bent barrel and I can't get it on paper. [/QUOTE]
