[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 2068742, member: 92230"] As the title suggests, which would you choose for a youth cartridge? I’ve found a savage in either option. He’s almost 9 and can technically hunt big game in two years when he’s 10. He’s made a very mature decision in asking for his first “big game” rifle for his birthday this year, in lieu of toys (I want to reward that). He wants time to practice. My long term plan is for this to be converted into something with more oomph as he grows. I like the modularity of Savage. Big plans for an upgraded CF stock, premium barrel and quality scope. With these two choices, assuming he will primarily be hunting mulies... what is your pick?originally I was going to get him a .243 but can’t seem to find one. Eventually he will get to hunt elk with me but I’m hesitant to say that I’d let him use either of these on an elk (but possibly under ideal circumstances). [/QUOTE]
