[QUOTE="nevada75, post: 1775410, member: 75285"] I have a couple of NEF/H&R including a slug gun, 22 Hornet, and 280 Rem. I've used my 280 on pronghorn to 450 yards. Not exactly long range but still a pretty good poke for many folks. While I have fancy bolt guns the single shots still get plenty of play time. I think one with both a 223 and 243 barrel would be a great place to start a youngster. 223 is cheap to shoot likely has a 1:9 twist so you can shoot some of the heavier bullets but double check as they made a variety of twist rates. And a 243 is a good starting point for deer hunting. Being a single shot shooters have to take time and pick their shot a bit more than other rifle types. Helps install discipline when shooting. I say go for it. [/QUOTE]
