[QUOTE="171farm, post: 2954556, member: 110956"] 100% do not mean to offend and knowing each 8 year old is different. But there is no way I would have gave my son at 8 a light 30-06 to shoot. Your son might be bigger and able to tolerate, especially if he was already shooting something else, but giving a kid a gun that kicks too much or is overly loud is an easy way to scare them for life. But only you know if your son is able to tolerate something and if he is then give it a go. It might be easier to get some Hornady Custom Lite ammo. My son uses the 243 custom lite and his Mossberg shoots them lights out and is 5 for 5 one shot kills with them. [/QUOTE]
