[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 1906848, member: 8907"] What do you hunt? Don't discount a 257 Roberts or 243 Win as they work great on deer and are easy on the shoulder. Shooting golf balls or shotgun shells with a 223 Remington or 204 Ruger is a lot of fun. They also work well on Coyotes! My suggestions don't work for 'Walter Mitty' adventures but, they make easing a young shooter into the hunt easier. They don't work so well for bragging rights in the junior or high school parking lot though, Social media posts of dead predators lined up may or may not be a hit with his friends. Where I'm at predator and crop pest hunts are only limited by my freetime. Feral hogs really need a mid-bore though so, at least 0.25" bore with a larger option being even better. I'm personally looking at a 257 Robert's with a 257 Weatherby Magnum Vanguard being very tempting. [/QUOTE]
