My son passed hunters ed and it will be his first year hunting to fill his own tag. Anyways, we have put in for the typical big game hunts of Elk and Deer. My question for all you experienced hunters who have had young kids is what caliber rifle and which brand? Right now I'm looking at a Savage or Weatherby (both youth models) and calibers in .243 or 7-08. I will be reloading to reduce recoil as a side note. So which is it..... .243 or 7-08?
Please dont let this thread be hijacked that a .243 is unethical for elk hunting. Ill save the ethics police to the campfire section. HAHA
