My nephew wants to start deer hunting with me. He's built on a small frame, so I'm wondering what caliber might be a good choice to start with. My spare 30.06 is too much gun for him, I was thinkin' about a 243, or a 25.06, or maybe dusting off my old bolt action 44 mag. What do ya think?
Get him a MarlinĀ® Mdl 336 in 30/30. Recoil is very light, & with the new Hornady LEVERevolutionĀ® ammo he can cleanly take a deer @ 300yds.
