8 year old boy wants a "real" hunting rifle
So my son wants a "real" hunting rifle as he calls it. He shoots my .22lr at the range a lot with me and he has a .410 single shot that he does well with when we got squirrel hunting. Now he is a pretty skinny but not a bean pole. Not sure exactly how tall but weighs around 65lbs. I was thinking a .223 rem youth model I already load .223 rem for the AR so I don't have to buy anything to load that round. But what calibers are your kids hunting with. Eventually I am going to let him go with me to Kentucky in a few years for my annual trip, but for now he will be hunting the lease in North Florida with me so the deer are small and the hogs are big! Whatever I get him won't be new so if you got something your young'n has outgrown feel free to send me a message with what it is and a price, but I will do another thread in the want to buy section when I get the caliber nailed down.
