There is NO set age where any human can handle a .30-06. I've known a bunch of adult he-men who can't shoot it well.


Thank you!!!

actually, my youngest is now 15, large for his age, and handles all of my rifles well... he's got the common sense to say so when a rifles recoil bugs him, and i hope he never gets over that!!! he shoots them all but only when he wants to... we keep it fun, and he usually wants to....

of all my rifles, he has done his best field shooting with the Savage 99 .300, the model 70 .243, and the H&R L461 .222...

IMO, no teen hunter (or any 40 year olds either) should use any particular rifle to live up to another's expectations... what a miserable way to go about hunting...

Kudos to you for your straight shooting wisdom...
