My father in law just recently had given my son an older (Stevens) single shot 20ga. He shots it fairly well, my question is what cal. rifle would come in about the same recoil as it. He (my son) says it has a little push/kick but isnt bad. I want to get him a rifle for himself, but dont want to 'over do it'. Primarily for deer. Thanks for any in sight in advance.
-he is 11 (will be in oct. )
