While I am a newcomer on this board, I've foraged this forum for years and have come to respect everyone's knowledge and opinion.
I'm looking for anyone's input on a rifle I should get my oldest son (6 years old), that'll last him a lifetime hunting in the northeast. He's one hell of a shooter at 25yds with his savage rascal smacking a squirrel spinner target using peeps and has shot my AK & AR without a single fear.
Where we live, white tails and black bear are the game we pursue and shots are typically 100 yards or less.
I'd get a 6 year old a tack-driving .22. It'll be cheap fun his whole life. Next rifle would be a .223. A .243, 6.5 Creed or 7-08 would follow.
