[QUOTE="JRS3, post: 2713181, member: 34957"] My son has taken a buck at both 8 and 9 (last weekend actually) using an AR in 6.8SPC and it has been a fantastic choice for his first deer ventures; sitting with me. The adjustment on the stock, minimal recoil, little blast (suppressor), short/easy handling in a blind, scope with illuminated dot, have all made it an ideal setup for a kids first deer hunt. However, I am thinking about what his first deer rifle should be and it will be a bolt. The AR is perfect while he is in my immediate presence or sitting in my lap, shooting from a blind, but I won’t let an AR be his first rifle due to the simplicity of a bolt. I am considering various 6mm, 6.5, and 7mm setups in a bolt rifle for his first gun. Personally, I really like the 6MM CM but there are not a lot of factory setups for a youth hunter yet. I’m watching this thread to see what else is discussed. [/QUOTE]
