Decided to buy one of the Savage 110 Classics. Not for shooting as much as eventually leaving to my grandson who is now 5.
Going with 243.

30-06 has "classic" written all over it.
A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
I suppose since the choices are limited, i would go 7mm-08 or .270. my favorite 2 cartridges are not offered in the classic. i suppose 30-06 would be next on my list...
243.
Certainly a good choice for a young persons first rifle.Originally Posted by wbm
It will no doubt see more use over his lifetime than a harder recoiling cartridge.
Let him decide which of those he needs.
A .243 win is a perfect caliber for a young person. It has enough to kill deer or even black bear with low recoil so much that you could practically shoot it off your forehead,LOL I think you made a wise choice and later on if he wants more power just screw on a .308 or whatever and you now have a much heavier caliber for the job.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
